The Covid-19 shutdown: when studying turns digital, students want more structure
Gjerde, Vegard; Gray Jr, Robert; Holst, Bodil; Kolstø, Stein Dankert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In March 2020, universities in Norway and many other countries shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The students lost access to classrooms, libraries, study halls, and laboratories. Studying turned digital. Because it ... -
Enhancing peer instruction in physics: Understanding cognitive processes and refining rules
Gjerde, Vegard; Hagane, Sivert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Peer Instruction gives practice in the abstract language of physics, addresses common misconceptions among students, and is more effective than traditional lecturing. However, it is not clear what makes Peer Instruction ... -
Integrating Cognitive Learning Strategies into Physics Instruction : Developing students’ approaches to physics and learning
Gjerde, Vegard (Doctoral thesis, 2021-03-24)Introductory physics courses are obligatory for many disciplines outside of physics. As experienced by many students, they are notoriously difficult, often with high failure rates. Many students, whether they passed or ... -
Integrating effective learning strategies in basic physics lectures: A thematic analysis
Gjerde, Vegard; Holst, Bodil; Kolstø, Stein Dankert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introductory mechanics is an obligatory course for many disciplines outside of physics and the failure rate is often high. Even the students who pass the course often fail to achieve the main learning goal: The conceptual ... -
Problem solving in basic physics: Effective self-explanations based on four elements with support from retrieval practice
Gjerde, Vegard; Paulsen, Vegard Havre; Holst, Bodil; Kolstø, Stein Dankert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Self-explanation, a learning strategy where students explain to themselves the steps taken in a worked example, is an effective learning strategy in early cognitive skill acquisition. However, many physics students produce ... -
Retrieval practice of a hierarchical principle structure in university introductory physics: Making stronger students
Gjerde, Vegard; Holst, Bodil; Kolstø, Stein Dankert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Introductory physics is taught to several hundred thousand university students every year. It is seen as especially difficult by many and the failure rate is often high. A relevant question is whether one can increase the ...
