Undergraduate student construction and interpretation of graphs in physics lab activities

Lab activities are an important element of an undergraduate physics course. In these lab activities, students construct and interpret graphs in order to connect the procedures of the lab with an understanding of the related physics concepts. This study investigated undergraduate students’ constructi...
