Effectiveness of group interaction on conceptual standardized test performance [PDF]
We analyze the effectiveness of working in pairs on the Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism test in a calculus-based introductory physics course. The group performance shows large normalized gain and evidence for co-construction.

Cognitive Structures of Good and Poor Novice Problem Solvers in Physics [PDF]
The way knowledge is organized in memory is generally expected to relate to the degree of success in problem solving. In the present study, we investigated whether good novice problem solvers have their knowledge arranged around problem types to a ...

Electrodynamic phenomena induced by a dark fluid: Analogs of pyromagnetic, piezoelectric, and striction effects [PDF]
We establish a new model of coupling between a cosmic dark fluid and electrodynamic systems, based on an analogy with effects of electric and magnetic striction, piezo-electricity and piezo-magnetism, pyro-electricity and pyro-magnetism, which appear in ...

A Search for Structure. Selected Essays on Science, Art and History [PDF]
All M. I. T. undergraduates have to satisfy an "institute requirement" of two semesters of introductory physics. For a number of years the freshman sequence offered for this purpose has consisted of one semester mostly on classical mechanics and one ...

Assessing thinking skills in free-response exam problems: Pandemic online and in-person
We present an analysis of students’ thinking skills as evidenced by free-response exam problems during the Covid-19 pandemic. We compare two inquiry-based, laboratory-based classical mechanics courses, one taught online and one taught in person during ...
