Safana Ismael, Physics
Advisor: Mila Kryevskaia
Safana Ismael is working on developing instructions to help students reason better. Recent studies show that some intuitive reasoning difficulties persist even after instructions. Those students possess prerequisite knowledge but jump to a conclusion each time they face a situation containing intuitive ideas. To help those students, we design instructional interventions that aim to improve students’ reasoning by helping them reflect on their responses and check the validity of such responses with formal physics knowledge.
