Calls for reform to instructional labs means many instructors and departments are facing the daunting task of identifying goals for their introductory lab courses. Fortunately, the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) released a set of recommendations for learning goals for the lab to support lab redevelopment [1]. Here we outline the process we have undergone to identify a set of learning goals for the labs that operationalize those provided by the AAPT. We also provide two examples…

Designing Laboratories for Online Instruction Using the iOLab Device
Scientific laboratories are among the most challenging course components to integrate into online instruction. Available technology restricts the design and nature of experiments and it can be hard…
Not engaging with problems in the lab: Students' navigation of conflicting data and models
With the adoption of instructional laboratories (labs) that require students to make their own decisions, there is a need to better understand students’ activities as they make sense of their data…
Highlighting considerations in experimental design: the case of multimeters
The instructional lab setting has been found to be dominated by prescribed tasks and pre-prepared lab kits. This was explained by teachers’ need to guide students to simultaneously progress through a…
Computational Thinking in Introductory Physics
Computational Thinking (CT) is still a relatively new term in the lexicon of learning objectives and science standards. There is not yet widespread agreement on the precise definition or…
Fostering experimental competences of prospective physics teachers
Physics teachers are often faced with the challenge of having to set up difficult experiments, or they have to consciously manipulate parameters in order to be able to demonstrate a phenomenon…

A guide for incorporating e-teaching of physics in a post-COVID world
Distance education has expanded significantly over the last decade, but the natural sciences have lagged in the implementation of this instructional mode. Recently, the abrupt onset of the COVID-19…
Restructuring physics labs to cultivate sense of student agency
Instructors can better support student agency and choice by transforming physics labs to be more open ended and experimentation focused.
Group roles in unstructured labs show inequitable gender divide
Instructional labs are being transformed to better reflect authentic scientific practice, often by removing aspects of pedagogical structure to support student agency and decision-making. We explored…
Undergraduate students’ reasoning about the quality of experimental measurements of covarying secondary data
We have investigated how first-year and second-year university students judge the quality of secondary experimental data consisting of measurements of covarying quantities, and to what extent they…
