  • Wilson, Joseph; Pollard, Benjamin; Aiken, John; Caballero, Marcos; Lewandowski, H.J. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Surveys have long been used in physics education research to understand student reasoning and inform course improvements. However, to make analysis of large sets of responses practical, most surveys use a closed-response ...
  • Weller, Daniel P.; Bott, Theodore E.; Caballero, Marcos; Irving, Paul W. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Physics classes with computation integrated into the curriculum are a fitting setting for investigating computational thinking. In this paper, we present a framework for exploring this topic in introductory physics courses. ...
  • Pollard, Benjamin; Hobbs, Robert; Henderson, Rachel; Caballero, Marcos; Lewandowski, Heather (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Introductory physics lab courses serve as the starting point for students to learn and experience experimental physics at the undergraduate level. They often focus on measurement uncertainty, an essential topic for practicing ...
  • Young, Nicholas T.; Caballero, Marcos (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    One argument for keeping the physics Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is that it can help applicants who might otherwise be missed in the admissions process stand out. In this work, we evaluate whether this claim is supported ...
  • Young, Nicholas T.; Verboncoeur, N.; Lam, Dao Chi; Caballero, Marcos (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    Rubric-based admissions are claimed to help make the graduate admissions process more equitable, possibly helping to address the historical and ongoing inequities in the U.S. physics graduate school admissions process that ...
  • Young, Nicholas T.; Tollefson, K.; Zegers, Remco G. T.; Caballero, Marcos (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    As systematic inequities in higher education and society have been brought to the forefront, graduate programs are interested in increasing the diversity of their applicants and enrollees. Yet, structures in place to ...
  • Hamerski, Paul C.; McPadden, Daryl; Caballero, Marcos; Irving, Paul W. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    High school science classrooms across the United States are answering calls to make computation a part of science learning. The problem is that there is little known about the barriers to learning that computation might ...
  • Vignal, Michael; Geschwind, Gayle; Pollard, Benjamin; Henderson, Rachel; Caballero, Marcos; Lewandowski, H.J. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    [This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] Measurement uncertainty is a critical feature of experimental research in the physical sciences, and the concepts ...
  • Sand, Odd Petter; Lockwood, Elise; Caballero, Marcos; Mørken, Knut Martin (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    This study uses actor-oriented transfer perspective to investigate different ways in which students make connections across the domains of mathematics and computing. We interview first-year students at the University of ...
