What makes a person a physicist? Learning Assistant and physics major views
written by
Jason T. Starita, Gary D. White, and Tiffany-Rose Sikorski
Using the theoretical framework of community of practice and physics identity, we investigate student perceptions of the physics community and competency among undergraduates at George Washington University, a mid-sized private research university. We analyze fifteen interviews of students belonging to three different populations: physics majors who are not Learning Assistants (LAs), physics majors who are LAs, and LAs who are not physics majors. By analyzing themes in participants' interview responses, we hope to better understand student perceptions of community. In general, physics majors report that they do not perceive themselves as physicists because they do not yet have, in their view, the competencies of professional physicists, yet the rigidity with which they hold onto this perspective is somewhat setting dependent.
