In recent courses, I have noticed two troubling practices of physics students. The first is the student response to homework problems. I hear the following kind of statements all too often: "Oh, you ...

A study in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics explores how a machine-learning strategy known as transfer ...

Parts of the brain not traditionally associated with learning science become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems, a new study shows. The researchers, led by Eric Brewe, PhD ...

In The Physics Teacher, researchers explore the goal of culturally relevant pedagogy, which is to center students' cultural resources as a bridge to learning. It relies on a framework of academic ...

At the introductory level, student typically study classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism (EM). The upper level physics courses focus on quantum mechanics and then more advanced versions of ...

If there’s one thing that unites pretty much all of us who like physics, it’s that we’ve all sat through physics classes at some point in our lives. We all know teachers and lecturers who’ve been ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego and the Allen Institute for AI have built a climate emulator that ...

A new study showed that, when confronted with physics problems, new parts of a student's brain are utilized after receiving instruction in the topic. Parts of the brain not traditionally associated ...
