Designing Experiments: Student Learning Experience and Behaviour in Undergraduate Physics Laboratories [PDF]
We investigated physics students' learning experience and behaviour in a second-year laboratory by analyzing transcribed audio recordings of laboratory sessions. One student group was given both a problem and procedure and asked to analyze and explain their results.

Repeated moral hazard and contracts with memory: A laboratory experiment [PDF]
This paper reports data from a laboratory experiment on two-period moral hazard problems. The findings corroborate the contract-theoretic insight that even though the periods are technologically unrelated, due to incentive considerations principals can ...

Goal Clarity, Task Significance, and Performance: Evidence from a Laboratory Experiment
This article examines the relationships among task goal clarity, task significance, and individual-level task performance. While both goals and task significance are important in extant public-management research, a theoretical integration of the ...

Impact of Thin-Walled Projectiles with Concrete Targets
An experimental program to determine the response of thin-walled steel projectiles to the impact with concrete targets was recently conducted. The projectiles were fired against 41-MPa concrete targets at an impact velocity of 290 m/s.

Fizeau's "aether-drag" experiment in the undergraduate laboratory
We describe a simple realization of Fizeau's "aether-drag" experiment. Using an inexpensive setup, we measure the phase shift induced by moving water in a laser interferometer and find good agreement with the relativistic prediction or, in the terms of ...

Does Party Polarization Affect the Electoral Prospects of a New Centrist Candidate?
Does party polarization affect the electoral prospects of a new centrist candidate? The paper investigates this question in the context of a laboratory experiment where a centrist candidate is added to the race between a left candidate and a right ...

Content and structure of laboratory packages for software engineering experiments [PDF]
Context: Experiment replications play a central role in the scientific method. Although software engineering experimentation has matured a great deal, the number of experiment replications is still relatively small. Software engineering experiments are composed of complex concepts, procedures and artefacts.
