Project-based learning is recognized as an effective approach for improving engagement and applied understanding in STEM education. In quantum engineering courses, however, the question is no longer o…
STEM education researchers are often interested in identifying moments of students' mechanistic reasoning for deeper analysis, but have limited capacity to search through many team conversation transc…
Guiding others through authentic scientific research outside of PhD programs has been practiced for decades in specialized secondary schools, undergraduate research programs, and independent settings.…
The Physics Lab Inventory of Critical Thinking (PLIC) measures three components of students' critical thinking in physics labs: evaluating data, evaluating methods, and proposing next steps. Prior wor…
Learning to think like a physicist (LTP) is often cited as a central goal of graduate physics education, yet what this means in practice and the extent to which physics graduate education prepares stu…
This study investigates the impact of educational comics as an active learning strategy in physics workshops for undergraduate students in Chemistry and Pharmacy and Biochemistry during the second sem…
Computational physics is a key part of what it means to do physics in the twenty-first century. However, upper division computational physics remains a largely understudied area. We set out to underst…
This study applies Computational Grounded Theory (CGT) to analyze student misconceptions using interaction data from an AI-powered chatbot deployed in a university-level Modern Physics course. The cha…
The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology is driving the transformation of physics education from traditional models to intelligent and data-driven approaches. To explore the evoluti…
Physics education research (PER) studies how students learn physics, yet the nuances of student reasoning can be notoriously difficult to probe even for PER practitioners. This article presents the st…
The rapid advancement of quantum information science and technology (QIST) has generated significant attention from people in academia, industry, and the public. Recent advances in QIST have led to bo…
The rapid growth of quantum information science and technology (QIST) in the 21st century has created both excitement and uncertainty about the field's trajectory. This qualitative study presents pers…
Evidence-based education has become a central concept in science education, with meta-analyses often regarded as the gold standard for informing practice. This emphasis raises critical questions conce…
The AMACA project (Astronomy education with a Multi-sensory, Accessible, and Circular Approach) develops multi-sensory activities for accessible education and engagement in astronomy. Despite promisin…
This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications discussing technology integration in the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model during the 2015-2024 period. With the evolvin…
Despite the large body of research showing that students in STEM classes at all levels learn better via active learning than they do via lecture, post-secondary physics and astronomy (P&A) faculty mem…
We conducted a literature review and expert interviews to determine the most common methods being used to teach quantum physics and quantum computing concepts to primary and secondary students. Based …
The accelerating global development of quantum technologies strengthens the case for introducing quantum computing concepts before university. Yet in Latin America, there is no consolidated, region wi…
Providing meaningful research experiences for undergraduate students is a well-recognized challenge, particularly at community colleges and teaching-focused institutions where resources are limited an…
The ubiquitous use of the tools of artificial intelligence (AI) in techno-science, in higher education and in other existing and potential fields of measurement application generates new challenges fo…
