Investigate Students’ use of Boundary Conditions using Symbolic Forms
As part of an effort to examine students' understanding about the structure of Boundary Conditions in upper division courses, think-aloud interviews were conducted in the context of both Quantum Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism. In the quantum mechanics task, students were presented with a classic potential step question. In the electricity and magnetism task, students were given a classical question about electromagnetic waves at the boundary of two media. The analysis of the interviews was guided by the use of a theoretical framework: Symbolic forms. Similar symbolic forms were identified in students' work across both contexts. Preliminary analysis suggests that even within the same symbolic form, different conceptual schema can be used. In general, students were able to generate correct symbolic templates while having some difficulty with the underlying conceptual ideas.
