  1. 1. Complexity Theory and Physics Education Research : The Case of Student Retention in Physics and Related Degree Programmes

    Författare :Jonas Forsman; Cedric Linder; Ismo Koponen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics Education Research; Complexity Theory; Student Retention; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the use of complexity theory in Physics Education Research as a way to examine the issue of student retention (a university’s ability to retain its students). University physics education is viewed through the concepts of nestedness and networked interactions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Doing Physics - Doing Gender : An Exploration of Physics Students' Identity Constitution in the Context of Laboratory Work

    Författare :Anna T Danielsson; Cedric Linder; Tora Holmberg; Boel Berner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Learning; Higher Education; Science Education; Physics Education; Gender; Situated Learning; Physics; Fysik; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik; Physics with specialization in Physics Education;

    Sammanfattning : In Sweden today women are greatly under-represented within university physics and the discipline of physics is also symbolically associated with men and masculinity. This motivates in-depth investigations of issues of physics, learning and gender. LÄS MER

  4. 3. From Branes to Brains : On M-theory and Understanding Thermodynamics

    Författare :Tom W. Adawi; Jon Ogborn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; M-theory; p-branes; supersymmetry; duality; heat and temperature; phenomenography; context; Physics Education Research; Fysik; Fysikens didaktik; Physics; Fysik; Materiefysik; Physics of Matter; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik;

    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

  5. 4. The role of practical work in physics education in Lao PDR

    Författare :Thongloon Vilaythong; Sune Pettersson; Oleg Popov; Bertil Sundqvist; Ogawa Masakata; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cultural-Historical Activity Theory; laboratory work; Laos; pendulum experiment; physics curriculum; physics education research; practical activities; Subject didactics; Ämnesdidaktik; didactics of physics; fysikdidaktik;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to get a better understanding of the role of practical work in physics education in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). The Lao PDR is one of least developed countries in the world with a weak base for science, and poor market opportunities for science graduates. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Science, Language, and Literacy : Case Studies of Learning in Swedish University Physics

    Författare :John Airey; Cedric Linder; Roger Säljö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Learning; Higher education; Bilingualism; Language choice; Science education; Scientific literacy; Bilingual scientific literacy; Disciplinary discourse; Discourse imitation; Semiotics; Physics Education Research; Physics; Fysik; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Science Education; Engelsk språkvetenskap; Fysik; Pedagogik och Utbildningsvetenskap; Pedagogics;

    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
