Combining mathematics and physics beyond the introductory level: the case of partial differential equations KU Leuven
Using mathematics in physics requires more than straightforward application of mathematical procedures. But how do students give physical meaning to a mathematical structure? How do they associate mathematical understanding to a physical phenomenon especially at the advanced undergraduate level? It has been proven this is a challenge for learners at all levels of education. In this project we bring together expertise from physics and ...
The 229Th challenge: a combined case for nuclear and solid state physics KU Leuven
The impact of disciplinary future self-enriched electromagnetism course on pharmacy majors’ achievement and affect in physics. KU Leuven
High drop-out rates at university level indicate that students are not able to find what they expected at the university. It is a problem in many European countries. Reports from European Commission and universities, mentioned that relating the courses in their programs to e.g. the disciplinary future selves (DFSs) of the students is one of the solutions by enhancing students’ learning and affective states (e.g. motivation and interest). The ...
