The DigiPhysLab Framework

One of the intellectual outputs of the DigiPhysLab -project is a framework aimed at supporting the design process of contemporary physics experimental tasks. Work on this framework was lead by Simon Lahme from the University of Göttingen, simon.lahme [at] uni-goettingen.de.

Abstract:

While lab courses are an integral part of studying physics aiming at a huge variety of learning objectives, research has shown that typical lab courses do not reach all the desired goals. While diverse approaches by lab instructors and researchers try to increase the effectiveness of lab courses, experimental tasks remain the core of any lab course. To keep an overview of these developments and to give instructors (and researchers) a guideline for their own professional efforts at hand, we introduce a research-informed framework for designing experimental tasks in contemporary physics lab courses. In addition, we demonstrate within the scope of the EU-co-funded DigiPhysLab-project how the framework can be used to characterize existing or develop new high-quality experimental tasks for physics lab courses.
