Searching for the Maxwell Distribution and the Boltzmann Factor: an Inquiry-Based Approach
2010
We report the development of a Workshop involving experimental and modelling activities aimed at facing two relevant problems currently addressed by the Physics Education Research community. These involve the organization of curricula aimed at showing the unity of physics as a subject and the ways to design affective learning environments.
A quantitative method to analyse an open-ended questionnaire: A case study about the Boltzmann Factor
2015
his paper describes a quantitative method to analyse an open- ended questionnaire. Student responses to a specially designed written questionnaire are quantitatively analysed by not hierarchical clustering called k-means method. Through this we can characterise behaviour students with respect their expertise to formulate explanations for phenomena or processes and/or use a given model in the different context. The physics topic is about the Boltzmann Factor, which allows the students to have a unifying view of different phenomena in different contexts
