Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time

DTU's PhD project seeks a researcher to investigate how students construct conceptual understanding of physics through active learning.

The focus will be on classical mechanics, with a quasi-experimental design comparing passive versus active learning environments and outcomes. The candidate will apply systematic approaches to investigate and document the crucial elements of experimenting teaching methods.

Responsibilities include observation of and interviews with students, tests of conceptual understandings via diagnostic multiple-choice tests and in-depth interviews. A 3-6 month stay at an international collaboration university is expected for field studies and data analysis.

Qualified applicants must have a BSc in physics followed by a master's degree in educational science, philosophy, physics, engineering, or similar. Pedagogical training and experience with realizing experimental setups are beneficial.

Job Description
  • Investigate new experimenting forms of teaching and learning activities according to the theory of didactic situations in teaching.
  • Apply systematic approaches to investigate and document which elements of experimenting teaching are crucial for students to achieve deeper learning and better conceptual understanding.
  • Research how students learn and do – or do not – construct a profound conceptual understanding of central terms and concepts of physics via active learning.
