undergraduate level. It is based on work originally commissioned by the National …

This study presents a review of the current state of research on teaching quantum
mechanics in secondary and lower undergraduate education. A conceptual approach to …

Physics, as an academic discipline, has a mathematical language of its own, and vectors are
its indispensable constituent, even at the prefatory stage. The researcher attempts to focus …

This paper describes the process for creating and validating an assessment test that
measures the effectiveness of instruction by probing how well that instruction causes …

Contribution: A roadmap is provided for building a quantum engineering education program
to satisfy US national and international workforce needs. Background: The rapidly growing …

Secondary school level quantum physics (QP) courses have recently been implemented in
the national curricula of many countries. QP gives opportunities to acquaint students with …

We measured mastery and retention of conceptual understanding of quantum mechanics in
a modern physics course. This was studied for two equivalent cohorts of students taught with …

In this article we discuss the findings of our research on students' understanding of vector
concepts in problems without physical context. First, we develop a complete taxonomy of the …

Quantum physics is an essential field of science education research, which reflects the high
relevance of research on quantum physics and its technologies all around the globe. In this …

This article describes a Delphi study aiming to investigate which quantum mechanics topics
experts consider to be important to teach at the secondary level, and what arguments these …
