6. Using a Social Semiotic Perspective to Inform the Teaching and Learning of Physics
Sammanfattning : This thesis examines meaning-making in three different areas of undergraduate physics: the refraction of light; electric circuits; and, electric potential and electric potential energy. In order to do this, a social semiotic perspective was constituted for the thesis to facilitate the analysis of meaning-making in terms of the semiotic resources that are typically used in the teaching and learning of physics.

7. Students' depictions of quantum mechanics : a contemporary review and some implications for research and teaching
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a comprehensive review of research into students’ depictions of quantum mechanics. A taxonomy to describe and compare quantum mechanics education research is presented, and this taxonomy is used to highlight the foci of prior research. A brief history of quantum mechanics education research is also presented. LÄS MER
8. Science, Language, and Literacy : Case Studies of Learning in Swedish University Physics
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents an investigation of undergraduate student learning with respect to physics lectures attended in English and Swedish. The work studies three connected areas: student learning patterns, bilingual scientific literacy and disciplinary discourse. LÄS MER
9. Learning Physics Through Communication During Laboratory Work : An empirical study at upper secondary school
Sammanfattning : Laboratory work as a teaching and learning method is given prominence in the Swedish physics curriculum for upper secondary school. It is emphasised that students should be given opportunities to develop the ability to search for answers to questions, plan, conduct, interpret and present results. LÄS MER
10. From Branes to Brains : On M-theory and Understanding Thermodynamics
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with research in both physics and physics education, and is divided into two parts.Part IString theory has been the leading candidate over the past few years for a theory that unifies all the fundamental forces of nature. LÄS MER
