Erroneous Statistics In Physical Review Physics Education Research By Michael B Weissman

Pdf Physical Review Special Topics Physics Education Research I will describe just one typical erroneous paper to illustrate the technical issues, while providing references for critiques of many others. The american physical society publication physical review physics education research focuses on questions that are essentially social science. unfortunately, it routinely publishes and promotes papers that make egregious errors in statistical reasoning, particularly in causal inference.

Pdf Physics Teachers Concepts Of Statistical Significance Journal Here i examine three papers from that journal that present explicit methods of causal inference. the methods offered involve major errors, including errors in identifying causal mediation, choosing variables to control for, and imputing missing data. Three recent papers in physical review physics education research present explicit methods of causal inference but unfortunately the methods have major errors. identifying causal mediation, choosing variables to control for, and imputation of missing data are among the topics for which incorrect methods were given. Abstract the american physical society publication physical review physics education research focuses on questions that are essentially social science. unfortunately, it routinely publishes and promotes papers that make egregious errors in statistical reasoning, particularly in causal inference. Based on a two stage cognitive diagnostic model, an assessment tool was developed showing that students with identical physics scores can have clearly different patterns of concept mastery and misconceptions.

A Critical Look At The Physics Education Abstract the american physical society publication physical review physics education research focuses on questions that are essentially social science. unfortunately, it routinely publishes and promotes papers that make egregious errors in statistical reasoning, particularly in causal inference. Based on a two stage cognitive diagnostic model, an assessment tool was developed showing that students with identical physics scores can have clearly different patterns of concept mastery and misconceptions. In this short workshop we will review the replication crisis as it has arisen in the social and medical sciences, then consider a few case studies of prominent recent results in condensed matter that have proven unreliable, and close with a panel discussion. In a recent paper (weissman 2021) i showed, however, that several papers published before 2021 in the leading journal of physics education, physical review physics education research (prper), made major causal inference errors in particular applications. To address this issue, we propose an explicit role for observational studies in per that draw statistical causal inferences: proposing future intervention studies and predicting their outcomes. In a recent paper (3) i showed that several physical review physics education research (prper) papers published before 2021 made major causal inference errors in particular applications.
