PhD scholarship in Engineering Students’ Construction of Conceptual Understanding in Introductory Physics – DTU Energy

This project will investigate new experimenting forms of teaching and learning activities according to the theory of didactic situations in teaching, e.g. open experiments supporting the students’ construction of conceptual understanding, all centered around DTU’s introductory physics course in the students’ first year experience, at DTU the so-called polytechnical foundation. The aim and purpose are to enhance student learning via their construction of conceptual understanding and grounding and retention of learning outcomes ensuring a positive spillover effect on the building of their engineering mindset.
