Research on teaching and learning quantum physics (QP) frequently explores students'
conceptual difficulties to identify common patterns in their reasoning. The abstractness of QP …

We discuss an investigation of student sensemaking and reasoning in the context of
degenerate perturbation theory (DPT) in quantum mechanics. We find that advanced …

Professional problem-solving practice in physics and engineering relies on mathematical
sense making—reasoning that leverages coherence between formal mathematics and …

Among the relevant aspects of the family resemblance approach (FRA), our study focuses
on the potential of the approach to elaborate on disciplinary identities in an interdisciplinary …

In humans, perspiration regulates core body temperature. Therefore, objectively evaluating it
is essential for studying sweat gland function and mechanisms, particularly in antiperspirant …

We present the development and validation of a construct map addressing introductory
quantum mechanics topics at the high school level, as a subset of a larger learning …

One hallmark of expertise in physics is the ability to translate between different
representations of knowledge and use the representations that make the problem-solving …

Research-based multiple-choice questions implemented in class with peer instruction have
been shown to be an effective tool for improving students' engagement and learning …

We examine students' challenges in determining the number of distinct many-particle
stationary states for a system of noninteracting identical particles, focusing on how these …

This research aims to describe how future physics teachers study mathematical physics.
Physics students must master the existing material in Mathematical Physics mathematics …
