This exploratory field study presents an approach to integrate innovative forms of recitation tasks into first-year introductory mechanics, with a primary focus on smartphone-based experimental tasks and additional programming tasks for comparison. Smartphones enable inexpensive physics experiments with digitized first-hand data collection outside...
[Eingereicht für den Tagungsband zur GDCP-Jahrestagung 2024 in Bochum] Angesichts hoher Abbruchquoten ist die Studieneingangsphase für viele Studierende herausfordernd. Daher gilt es, das Erleben und die Bedürfnisse der Studierenden in dieser Phase zu verstehen, um den Studienstart inklusiv zu gestalten, Studiererfolg zu fördern und Abbruch zu bege...
The current dropout rate in physics studies in Germany is about 60%, with the majority of dropouts occurring in the first year. Consequently, the physics study entry phase poses a significant challenge for many students. Students’ stress perceptions can provide more profound insights into the processes and challenges during that period. In a panel...

Vom Vorkurs über die Vorlesungszeit bis zu den Prüfungen fühlen sich Studierende mal mehr, mal weniger stark belastet. Bemerkenswert ist nicht nur die Intensität der subjektiv erlebten Belastung, sondern auch die Vielfalt der Belastungsquellen. Die Aufschlüsselung dieser Dynamik bietet wichtige Einblicke in die individuelle Wahrnehmung des Physikst...
While lab courses are an integral part of studying physics aiming at a huge variety of learning objectives, research has shown that typical lab courses do not reach all the desired goals. While diverse approaches by lab instructors and researchers try to increase the effectiveness of lab courses, experimental tasks remain the core of any lab course...
At the University of Göttingen, we implemented undergraduate research projects into a first-year mechanics course for physics majors and teacher-training students. Our primary goal was to foster students' affective factors and higher-order thinking skills in a self-directed, crosslinking, inquiry-based learning setting. A total of 160 students were...
As physics laboratory courses are an integral part of studying physics, many approaches have been pursued to evaluate their quality e.g., regarding the improvement of conceptual understanding, the students’ motivation, or the acquisition of adequate concepts about experimental physics. So far, most approaches either evaluate laboratory courses in t...
Die Studieneingangsphase Physik wird von Studierenden oftmals als herausfordernd empfunden, was sich in Belastungsempfindungen ausdrücken kann. Um die Ursachen dieser Belastung besser nachzuvollziehen, wurden Physikmono- und -zweifächerbachelorstudierende der Universität Göttingen in ihrem ersten und zweiten Semester in einer Panelstudie nahezu wöc...
Zur Förderung von Neugier, Interesse und sozialer Eingebundenheit sowie zur Unterstützung des selbstgesteuerten, vernetzenden, forschungsbasierten Lernens wurden an der Universität Göttingen in die Erstsemesterveranstaltung Experimentalphysik I für Physikhauptfach- und -zweifächerbachelorstudierende „undergraduate research projects“ implementiert....
Digital signal processing is a valuable practical skill for the contemporary physicist, yet in physics curricula, its central concepts are often introduced either in method courses in a highly abstract and mathematics-oriented manner or in lab
work with little explicit attention. In this paper, we present an experimental task in which we focus on a...
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] Physics lab courses permanently undergo transformations, in recent times especially to adapt to the emergence of new digital technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic in which digital technologies facilitated distance learning. Since these tr...

This study aimed at evaluating how students perceive the linguistic quality and scientific accuracy of ChatGPT responses to physics comprehension questions. A total of 102 first- and second-year physics students were confronted with three questions of progressing difficulty from introductory mechanics (rolling motion, waves, and fluid dynamics). Ea...

Für einen erfolgreichen Start ins Physikstudium und eine gelingende akademische Identitätsbildung müssen Studierende verschiedenste Anforderungen bewältigen (vgl. Bauer et al., 2019). Symptomatisch für diese Herausforderungen sind die hohen Studienabbruchquoten im Fach Physik (vgl. Albrecht, 2011; Heublein et al., 2017). Eine mangelnde Passung zwis...

Eines der Lernziele des Physikstudiums stellt der Erwerb literaler Fähigkeiten für das Verfassen wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten dar. Die Student:innen werden allerdings im Rahmen ihres Studiums bisher kaum systematisch beim Erwerb dieser Fähigkeiten unterstützt. Eine Übungsgelegenheit für das Verfassen von Texten nach wissenschaftlichem Vorbild stellt...
Keynote presentation at the International Conference of Physics Education 2022
Pursuing a broad range of learning objectives, effective physics laboratory courses need conducive-to-learning, motivating, and engaging experimental tasks. The Covid-19 pandemic has further increased the demand for quality experimental tasks which can also be used in online learning scenarios. The EU-funded DigiPhysLab-project meets this need by d...
Die Studieneingangsphase Physik stellt Studierende vor vielfältige Herausforderungen. Eine Nichtpassung zwischen universitären Anforderungen und persönlichen Ressourcen kann zum Empfinden von Belastung führen. An der Universität Göttingen wurde daher während des ersten Studiensemesters auf wöchentlicher Basis die wahrgenommene Belastung der Studier...
Die Studieneingangsphase Physik fordert von den Studienanfängern den Aufbau vielfältiger Fä-higkeiten und Fertigkeiten. Diese umfassen fachliche Aspekte, z. B. den Erwerb von Fachwissen, Problemlösefähigkeiten und experimenteller Kompetenz auf universitärem Niveau. Parallel dazu müssen Prozesse der Identitätsaushandlung, Sozialisation und Enkultura...
