From structured frameworks to AI-powered feedback, new research is transforming how students approach physics problems. Studies show that expert-like strategies, collaboration, and avoiding common ...

Physics mastery starts with linking theory to real-world contexts. Conceptual problem-solving approaches, like those used in general relativity courses, encourage students to connect mathematical ...

John Lukowski, a first-year electrical engineering major, competed in the International Young Physicists’ Tournament in Thailand over the summer. Lukowski’s team presented solutions to nearly 20 ...

Black physicists say efforts to recruit and retain more Black students must concentrate on challenges they face at both Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Primarily White Institutions.

Neil Downie believes that supporting students to devise, build and test their own projects can help to get them and their teachers interested in and enjoying physics Practical solutions Students who ...

It's still near the beginning of the semester for most introductory physics courses—so it's not too late to give some physics advice. I know it might be hard to believe—at least it is for me—but I ...

Parts of the brain not traditionally associated with learning science become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems, a new study shows. The researchers, led by Eric Brewe, PhD ...

A new study showed that, when confronted with physics problems, new parts of a student's brain are utilized after receiving instruction in the topic. Parts of the brain not traditionally associated ...
