This paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of physics education research at the
undergraduate level. It is based on work originally commissioned by the National …

Eye tracking is becoming increasingly popular in physics education research (PER). As
technology has advanced considerably in recent years and has become more user friendly …

This study investigated how visual attention differed between those who correctly versus
incorrectly answered introductory physics problems. We recorded eye movements of 24 …

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) plays a key role in introductory organic
chemistry, spanning theory, concepts, and experimentation. Therefore, it is imperative that …

The aim of the Integrated Navigation System (INS) on a ship bridge should be to provide the
navigator with added value and aid in the complex task of conducting a safe and efficient …

This study explores what introductory physics students actually look at when studying
worked-out examples. Our classroom experiences indicate that introductory physics …

We investigate the effects of visual cueing on students' eye movements and reasoning on
introductory physics problems with diagrams. Participants in our study were randomly …

This study examines students' visual behaviors when they tackle two types of synthesis
problems, sequential and simultaneous problems. Sequential synthesis tasks can be solved …

Graphs are often used to represent mathematical functions, to illustrate data from social and
natural sciences, or to specify scientific theories. With increasing emphasis on the …

The concepts of the Coriolis and the centrifugal force are essential in various scientific fields
and they are standard components of introductory physics lectures. In this paper, we explore …
