Energy measurement resources in spins-first and position-first quantum mechanics
Abstract
Research into student understanding of quantum mechanics has primarily focused on the identification of student difficulties a nd t he d evelopment o f c urriculum t hat c an h elp i mprove s tudent l earning.M ost o f this work has been performed in courses using a position-first i nstructional p aradigm.R ecently, t here h as been increase in the number of instructors choosing to present material in an alternate order: spins-first.In this work, we makes steps towards answering the question of whether or not the instructional paradigm has an impact on student thinking about energy measurement.We use a resources lens to analyze the different tools and methods students are using to solve questions.
