| Abstract: | In this case study, an augmented reality app is utilized to study students' understanding of the direction of the magnetic force encountered by a charged particle moving through a magnetic field. This study uses the tools developed in the app and integrates the mathematical sense making (MSM) framework to facilitate the process of students' understanding of mathematical relationships and physical concepts. We present this process and content in a series of think-aloud guided interview questions and map the MSM framework to diagrams, concepts, symbols, and equations of the Lorentz force. The interview results suggest using the tools (e.g. equation info box) developed within the app along with the Merge© cube promotes a deeper understanding and an increased speed in answering the Lorentz force cross product 3D conceptual questions. The insights gained during the interview processes also contribute to further curriculum development around these models and the MSM framework. |
