Evaluating Students' Attitudes and Learning in an Undergraduate Particle Physics Online Course
As part of an NSF-funded initiative to broaden career pathways for physics majors at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), we developed and implemented an online particle physics course through the CSU Fully Online system. The course integrates active learning strategies, including pre-recorded lectures, weekly assessments, structured office hours, and research term papers. Select students engage in follow-up summer research at national and international labs such as CERN. This paper presents preliminary findings from the first implementation, focusing on changes in students' self-efficacy, physics identity, and interest, and their relationship to pre/post-assessment performance. Survey results showed stable interest, modest gains in identity, and a significant correlation between post-course identity and post-assessment scores. These results suggest online physics courses can support both affective development and learning.
