The authors aimed to propose a valid and reliable diagnostic instrument by developing a three-tier test on simple electric circuits. Based on findings from the interviews, open-ended questions, and the related literature, the test was developed and administered to 124 high school students. In addition to some qualitat…

Although electromagnetism is an important component of upper secondary school physics syllabuses in many countries, there has been relatively little research on students’ understanding of the topic. A written test consisting of 16 diagnostic questions was developed and used to survey the understanding of electromagnet…

Recent battery papers commonly employ interpretation models for which diffusion impedances are in series with interfacial impedance. The models are fundamentally flawed because the diffusion impedance is inherently part of the interfacial impedance. A derivation for faradaic impedance is presented which shows how the…

Background:Misconceptions are major obstacles to learning physics, and the concepts of heat and temperature are some of the common misconceptions that are encountered in daily life. Therefore, it is important to develop valid and reliable tools to determine students’ misconceptions about basic thermodynamics concepts.…

We describe an advanced undergraduate experiment to demonstrate molecular spectroscopy by measuring the vibrational energy spacing of nitrogen molecules in the gas phase. We show how the use of a simple and readily available AC discharge tube and a handheld spectrometer allows students to observe and measure the radia…

The aim of this study is to reveal secondary school students’ misconceptions about simple electric circuits and to define whether specific misconceptions peculiar to Turkish students exist within those identified. Data were obtained with a conceptual understanding test for simple electric circuits and semi-structured…

This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of hands-on and minds-on activities on ninth grade students’ achievement in and attitudes towards simple electric circuits. The study was conducted with 130 students, 70 of which were * This paper is mainly based on the master's thesis of the first author and presen…

This study focused on students' misconceptions related to evaporation, evaporation rate, and vapour pressure. Open‐ended diagnostic questions were used with 107 undergraduates in the Primary Science Teacher Training Department in a state university in Turkey. In addition, 14 students from that sample were interviewed…

Abstract In this paper, we find the solution for coupled equations describing the projectile motion with wind-influence using q - homotopy analysis transform method ( q -HATM). The projectedmethod is elegant amalgamations of q -homotopy analysis scheme and Laplace transform, and fractional derivativedefined withCaputo…
