| Abstract Title: | Student understanding of time-dependence in spins-first Quantum Mechanics |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Undergraduate quantum mechanics is typically taught using either a position-first or spins-first instructional paradigm. Over the last decade, a number of physics education researchers have been investigating student learning and developing research-based curriculum in quantum mechanics. However, much of this research has been performed in position-first classrooms. In this work we investigate student learning of time dependence in spins-first classrooms and compare the difficulties observed to those previously reported based on research in position-first contexts. This knowledge will inform the development and/or the adaptation of materials suitable for spins-first instruction. |
