To work towards this goal of preparing\u0000physics students for a career in the quantum industry, a senior capstone course\u0000called \"Quantum Forge\" was created at the University of Colorado Boulder. This\u0000course aims to provide students a hands-on quantum experience and prepare them\u0000to enter the quantum workforce directly after their undergraduate studies. Some\u0000of the course's goals are to have students understand what comprises the\u0000quantum industry and have them feel confident they could enter the industry if\u0000desired. To understand to what extent these goals are achieved, we followed the\u0000first cohort of Quantum Forge students through their year in the course in\u0000order to understand their perceptions of the quantum industry including what it\u0000is, whether they feel that they could be successful in it, and whether or not\u0000they want to participate in it. The results of this work can assist educators\u0000in optimizing the design of future quantum-industry-focused courses and\u0000programs to better prepare students to be a part of this burgeoning industry.","PeriodicalId":501565,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Physics Education","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141610899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These and other\u0000paradoxes are traditionally related to \"purely quantum\" phenomenon, i.e.,\u0000having no analogue in the \"classical world\" ones. However, there are deep\u0000analogies between classical and \"quantum\" worlds, as soon as the quantum\u0000technique is applied to the classical phenomenon. We follow these analogies\u0000with the examples of relatively simple and well known models of classical\u0000physics, such as a simplified model of light transition through the media, a\u0000system of electric charges close to each other and far from the observer; the\u0000specific of motion in the Coulomb/Newtonian field. This text can be considered\u0000as a mini-course addressed to higher school and undergraduate students who are\u0000interested in basics of quantum mechanics, but are not yet ready for systematic\u0000study of standard courses. The text may be also useful to those who supervise\u0000such students.","PeriodicalId":501565,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Physics Education","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141547957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The\u0000survey was administered in 10 different languages to over 2000 students from\u0000diverse backgrounds, and it explored multiple facets of their perspectives on\u0000astronomy. The topics included students' views on the incorporation of\u0000astronomy in curricula, their grasp of fundamental astronomical concepts,\u0000access to educational resources, cultural connections to astronomy, and their\u0000levels of interest and aspirations in the subject. We find notable deficiencies\u0000in students' knowledge of basic astronomical principles, with only a minority\u0000demonstrating proficiency in key areas such as celestial sizes, distances, and\u0000lunar phases. Furthermore, access to resources such as telescopes and\u0000planetariums remain limited across the country. Despite these challenges, a\u0000significant majority of students expressed a keen interest in astronomy. We\u0000further analyze the data along socioeconomic and gender lines. Particularly\u0000striking were the socioeconomic disparities, with students from resource-poor\u0000backgrounds often having lower levels of access and proficiency. Some\u0000differences were observed between genders, although not very pronounced.

Our study evaluates Physics-STAR\u0000against traditional teacher-led lectures and generic LLM tutoring through a\u0000controlled experiment with 12 high school sophomores. Results showed that\u0000Physics-STAR increased students' average scores and efficiency on conceptual,\u0000computational, and on informational questions. In particular, students' average\u0000scores on complex information problems increased by 100% and their efficiency\u0000increased by 5.95%. By facilitating step-by-step guidance and reflective\u0000learning, Physics-STAR helps students develop critical thinking skills and a\u0000robust comprehension of abstract concepts. The findings underscore the\u0000potential of AI-driven personalized tutoring systems to transform physics\u0000education.
