This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant award of $194,578 is intended to provide a research base for understanding how instruction affects students' comprehension of measurement concepts across classical and quantum mechanics. Awarded to the CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation on May 1, 2024, the 3-year project aims to: (A) characterize instruction on uncertainty and measurement in introductory and advanced physics courses, (B) develop student profiles based on their reasoning about measurement and uncertainty, and (C) identify shifts in student thinking resulting from different instructional strategies. By employing a mixed-methods approach including interviews, surveys, and data analyses, the project seeks to uncover connections between instructional practices and student learning, informing the design of effective curricula that prepare students for 21st century STEM careers.
