Despite the legislation in force in most countries and the discourse on gender equality, the observed reality, still today, shows a clear picture of inequality and restrictions for women, particularly when the issue is the choice of a…
The rapid evolution of technology and the parallel increasing complexity of algorithmic analysis in HEP requires developers to acquire a much larger portfolio of programming skills. Young researchers graduating from universities worldwide…
This paper deals with the problem of theoretical justification and development of scientific and methodological support for using the cloud service CoCalc as a tool for the formation of mathematics teachers professional competencies. The…
In this paper we discuss the use of sensors incorporated in mobile devices as possible mobile laboratories at the service of teaching experimental sciences. Mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, laptops, microbit cards, are a resource for…
We show here how to create from digital films using the well-known software Tracker stroboscopic photos in order to analyze different types of movements. The advantage of this procedure is that it is possible to analyze the printed photo or…
In an effort to improve the quality of citizen engagement in workplace, politics, and other domains in which quantitative reasoning plays an important role, Quantitative Literacy (QL) has become the focus of considerable research and…
I use the magnetometers of a smartphone to measure the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field. A method for eliminating bias due to internal magnetic fields in the phone is proposed.
The potential of using video games as well as gaming engines for educational and research purposes is promising, especially with the current progress of Industry 4.0 technologies such as augmented and virtual reality devices. However, it is…
Mobile Collaborative Learning Games combine all the ingredients necessary to attract students' attention and engage them in learning activities. However, designing a coherent game scenario that combines mobility, game mechanics and…
The observation that the shadows of objects change during the course of the day and also for a fixed time during a year led curious minds to realize that the Sun could be used as a timekeeper. However, the daily motion of the Sun has some…
The scientists have shown great interest in the search for alternative means to generate energy, which are not contaminants and generate significant damage to the environment. One of the quite viable possibilities for this is to consider…
Combine the scanning properties of a common office photocopier with an object in motion to create stunning imagery. Produce a scan or hard copy that records the artifact of two motions, the moving object and the moving photocopier scan bar.…
A national survey of physics faculty was conducted to investigate the prevalence and nature of computational instruction in physics courses across the United States. 1246 faculty from 357 unique institutions responded to the survey. The…
Transitions between low-lying electron states in atoms of heavy elements lead to electromagnetic radiation with discrete energies between about 0.1~keV and 100~keV (x rays) that are characteristic of the element. Moseley's law --- an…
Please find the final and published version of the manuscript using this citation: E. Bernhardt, et. al, "An apparatus for measuring a material's photomechanical response", American Journal of Physics, 86, 14 (2018) This paper describes a…
In a climate where teachers feel deprofessionalized at the hands of regulations, testing, and politics, it is vital that teachers become empowered both in their own teaching and as agents of change. This physics education research study…
This study investigates how an urban, high school physics class responded to the inclusion of a classroom set of iPads and associated applications, such as screencasting. The participatory roles of students and the expressions of their…
The study of the behavior of a standing wave inside a resonant cavity, such as a closed tube, has always been of great revelation in the manufacture of wind musical instruments, in addition to research carried out on the transfer and…
In the course of basic physics, more precisely the course of classical mechanics should be understood as clearly as possible the subject of rotational dynamics for students of science and engineering, to have clarity with the issues…
The lifting effect of an effervescent tablet in the water is ideal for educational purposes, because it combines various mathematical and physical principles. We developed a mathematical toy model for the time evolution of the buoyancy and…
