  1. 140. (G*) POS-A1 -- Mapping the Landscape of Physics Education Research in Canada
    Lindsay Mainhood
    09/06/2021, 13:45
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Poster Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition affiches (Étudiant(e) 2e ou 3e cycle)

    This presentation is based on a subset of data from a doctoral project on Physics Education Research (PER) in Canada. Current data describing the landscape of PER in Canada will be shared, offering a characterization of Canadian PER and the people who conduct it. The aim of the presentation is to increase the physics and PER community’s knowledge and understanding of this field beyond the...

  2. 302. POS-A2 -- Home-Based Labs to Develop Broadly Applicable Scientific Skills and Attitudes
    Mark Paetkau (Thompson Rivers University), Arnold Sikkema (Trinity Western University)

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Poster (Non-Student) / Affiche (Non-étudiant(e))

    First-semester physics labs typically aim to confirm and mirror relationships explored in the lectures. Often using computer-interfaced equipment to measure physical variables, students investigate relationships with time or other variables. We took our move to online delivery in the pandemic as an opportunity to re-think physics labs. We report here a suite of remotely delivered labs...

  3. 315. (U*) POS-A3 -- Investigating the Gender Gap in Introductory Physics Courses
    Daniel Dobrowolski (McMaster)

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Poster Competition (Undergraduate Student) / Compétition affiches (Étudiant(e) du 1er cycle)

    The observed gender gap in physics testing is a problem which plagues physics education. Many studies in universities across North America show that female students consistently perform worse than male students on written examinations and concept inventories, though the size of this performance gap varies from study to study. In some cases, this gender gap in performance has been linked...

  4. 347. (U*) POS-A4 -- Students’ Preferences and Participation in Introductory Physics Courses in an Online Environment
    Nitara Fernando (McMaster University)
    09/06/2021, 13:51
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Poster Competition (Undergraduate Student) / Compétition affiches (Étudiant(e) du 1er cycle)

    Introductory physics courses are required at McMaster for students in a pure physics stream, engineering stream, or life sciences stream. The background preparation of these students, as well as their attitudes towards the course, can vary greatly. There lies huge importance in identifying topics and aspects of introductory physics courses that students enjoy and find challenging as a key...
