...% of respondents. Thermal Physics ( Kittel and Kroemer, 1980 ) was identified by 15% of respondents. All other texts were individually under 7% in the survey, but less-frequently used texts made up around 30% of responses. (Respondents could identify more than one text.) An upper-division course...

... is affected by beliefs about the origin of that radiation, with natural radiation being seen as less dangerous than artificial radiation ( Acar Sesen and Ince, 2010 ; Plotz, 2017 ; and Götte and Ludewig, 2019 ). Siersma et al. (2021) found that some interviewed 14–16-year-olds believed that all...

... characteristics of the display; locational indexing in diagrams makes them more effective than informationally equivalent sentential representations, probably because of less search time for the required information; the major factor determining a viewer's capacity to make effective use of the diagram...

... ). Individuals from marginalized racial and ethnic communities in the USA (African American, Hispanic American, and Native American) comprise about 33% of the country's population (United States Census Bureau, 2019). However, students from marginalized backgrounds earn less than 3% of the awarded doctoral...

... ordering, where, e.g., −5 µC would be interpreted as somehow less than 0 µC or +5 µC. When they asked introductory university-level students about an experiment in which charge was moved from one initially neutral sphere to another, they found that most students recognized...

... to learn how much Physics Education Research contributes to the general universe of studies that treat “textbooks,” “curriculum” and their “alignment.” While the search term “textbooks” creates 2,490,000 hits, the term “physics textbooks” creates only 13,800 hits or 180 times less hits. While the search...

... S_j/i is, the less difficult the separation is, the lower the energy consumption required for the separation process, and the less the number of theoretical stages of the equipment required for separation processes. In addition, the commonly used absorption equipment is absorption...

... a continuum of methods. He represents this relationship in the way depicted in Fig. 16.1 , whereby investigations can be viewed as more (upper left corner) or less (lower right corner) experimental. FIG. 16.1 Brandon's matrix category of manipulative hypothesis testing and examination questions about...

..., ultimately leading to the articulation of patterns and rules—the laws of physics. Physics instruction often focuses on the details of the culminating relationships, with less explicit attention on the operational definitions themselves. Operational Definitions We posit that leaning on operational...

.... The input of the system only includes fuel and net power consumption but not the natural gas hydrate, while the input of the methane reforming subsystem also needs to consider the input of methane. Therefore, the efficiency of the methane reforming subsystem is less than 1. For the integrated system...

..., facilitate reflection and awareness of actions and experiences, and promote language development. From age 6 to 15, schooling is compulsory for nine years. Home schooling is allowed but extremely rare (far less than 1%), although it increased when schools were reopened after COVID 19. Compulsory education...

...) introduced the “effect size.” Effect sizes characterize differences in means or degrees of association as small effects, medium effects, and large effects. Differences or degrees of association that are statistically significant but less than a small effect are practically negligible. The most common effect...

... was slightly less than in the traditional course ( Hoellwarth et al., 2005 ). TEAL, which was developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was developed while SCALE-UP was finalizing its model, incorporating many of the same features while developing its own, specifically including...

... simulation (e.g., Monaghan and Clement, 1999 ; and Alibali and Nathan, 2012 ). In a second sense, visualization is used to denote the visual display of information ( Tufte, 1983 ): to externally visualize is to take something that is less visually accessible, such as an abstract idea or tabulated...

... educators developed problems or courses that similarly sought to serve this population, although some had less emphasis on biological connections ( Potter et al., 2014 ). Before the early 2000s, a few books ( Benedek and Villars, 1979 ; Sternheim and Kane, 1991 ; Hobbie and Roth, 2007...

... The models introduced so far did not focus on the sciences and paid no special attention to the study of physics. This tradition of research into personal epistemology initially assumed that the respondent has some theory of knowledge (more or less implicit, but the responses can explicate...

... education, most of these analyses have been carried out in the context of research on specific themes (lesson design, student learning, specific conceptual content, teacher professional development, etc.) and much less on teaching practices as such. This may be one of the reasons why reviews devoted...

... on the question actually intended by the test designers; (iii) the animated versions of the questions were less vague, since they carried more information, and students were less likely to answer such questions with memorized responses. 2. Problem solving (likely to use think-aloud protocol) Interview subjects...
