    Oral presentation

    The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationships between students’ attitudes towards, engagement in, and self-efficacy about physics. The analysis was based on three Likert-scale surveys, which measured the dimensions of the three constructs, administered online to 1971 Italian undergraduate and high school Italian students. After exploring several possible alternatives, we validated...

    Oral presentation

    The number of students who give up science and engineering in the first semesters is regrettably high. While there is empirical evidence for the relationship between (the lack of) prior knowledge in mathematics and dropout, there are – to our knowledge - no studies concerning the relevance of prior knowledge in physics, even though physics is a compulsory minor in many subjects. Therefore, a...

    Students’ Identity and Wellbeing as Learners of Physics
    Oral presentation

    Great attention has been devoted to studying how socio-cultural problems, such as students’ participation, gender differences in persistence, epistemic injustice, impact disciplinary identity. However few literature accounting for what kind of impact discipline in itself has on identity development is present; in this work, building on “Reconceptualized FRA to NOS frameworks”, we introduce the...

    Students’ Identity and Wellbeing as Learners of Physics
    Oral presentation

    In many countries, women are still under-represented in physics, despite many initiatives to encourage more women to study and work in physics. This study examines the educational and family backgrounds of 800 women studying physics at universities in the UK and Ireland to explore what influenced their decision to study physics and what have been their experiences so far. The majority do not...
