Prof. Philip Krasicky ’90, physics, who teaches PHYS 1112: Mechanics and Heat, also agrees that educators are still figuring out the most effective way for students to learn.

A new study has shown that physics problems can light up parts of the brain traditionally not associated with learning science. The discovery could help improve how the subject is actually taught ...

Making physics more engaging means meeting students where they are, highlighting the ways in which it plays a role in their communities.

Investing in the future More funding for education research is needed to carry out research into how students learn physics. (Courtesy: iStock/Steve Debenport) Over the past century the Institute of ...

It will fill you in on the physics fundamentals. You’ll get re-acquainted with lessons on motion, work, and energy. Plus, you’ll even get the chance to learn how to use physics.

Physics departments could then develop assessment as part of the learning process itself rather than it simply being a way of judging what has been learned during a course. Assessment would also be ...

A machine learning model used neural decoding to show how we think about abstract concepts like electrical current and diffraction. The results could change how we teach physics.

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 ...

Students from E.E. Smith High School in Fayetteville, visited Soldiers with 18th Fires Brigade during a brigade field exercise here, Oct. 20, to learn the hands on application of projectile motion.

And I think in terms of understanding physics and explaining physics, interacting with people in productive ways to learn physics – we’re already at a point where most advanced AI tools can do ...
