Introductory Physics Students’ Epistemological Resources
written by
Erin M. Scanlon
A qualitative investigation was conducted of the epistemological resources employed by introductory physics students while solving physics problems in groups. The purpose of this study was to identify the resources employed by introductory physics students and the associated usage patterns of these resources. The epistemological resources were identified using emergent coding and by implementing an operationalized coding scheme from Jones (2015). 25 distinct epistemological resources were identified such as Peer Cognitive Awareness, Mathematical Reasoning, Invoking Authority, and If It's Given It Must Be Used. Students were categorized into groups based on their previous number of mathematics and physics courses completed. Future research will focus on teasing apart the source of the group differences as well as the effect of the different physics problems on student resource usage.
