A key development parallel to this was the first NSF grant to Robert Tinker of TERC (see Technical Education...

Marx, who used the first definition of the theoretical framework in Margerum-Leys and Marx (2002) , has a Ph.D. in “Educational Psychology.” Besides being the co-author of this publication, Jon Margerum-Leys has expertise in “Curriculum...

... taught a course on Cultural Physics that Ronald Mickens has described as emphasizing the intermingling of physics with other disciplines and underlining a cultural value equal to that of the humanities and the classics ( Mickens, 2018 , p. 33). Nearly one hundred years later, physics education...

...,” “Non-Statement View,” or “Model-Based View.” ²⁰ An influential treatment of this Model Based View (MBV) for the physics education community was due to Ronald N. Giere (1988) . According to the MBV, a theory should be viewed as a family of models and that a model is an abstract entity...

..., Peter Schaffer and Paula Heron gradually took on this responsibility. The following is a list of our UW graduate students who had earned a Ph.D. for PER by the end of 2019. Mechanics David Trowbridge (1979), Ronald Lawson (1984), Diane Grayson (1990), Peter Shaffer (1993), Pamela Kraus (1997), Tara...

... in physics education research (PER). After Ronald Lawson (my fourth graduate student) also did well on the Qualifying Exam, my colleagues dropped this requirement as unnecessary. Years later, in response to a query from another department considering a related move, Mark McDermott, Chair of the UW Physics...

Arnold planned to develop a course and write a book for preparing prospective elementary school teachers to teach physical science by inquiry. He liked the inquiry-oriented instructional materials produced by physicists in the post-Sputnik...

Therefore, the main recommendation is to share the data and the code with the public. As Ronald H. Coase says, “If you torture the data long enough...
