Physics Education Research seminar - Chandralekha Singh (The University of Pittsburgh) "Facilitating Thinking and Learning in and Beyond the Classroom"
In this seminar, I will discuss my research in physics education that has implications for helping students learn physics more effectively. One study shows that the difficulty of a problem not only depends on its inherent complexity but also on the familiarity and intuition one has developed about it. I will also discuss research focused on asking students in introductory and advanced courses to diagnose their mistakes. I will also present data that suggest that female students face additional hurdles in physics courses and discuss interventions that can help improve learning of all students.
