Physics Education and Experimental Condensed Matter Physics Lab (Yumiko Hirashima)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that experimentally investigates the properties of polymer gels and creates physics teaching materials from everyday materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Polymer gel experiments and the development of physics teaching materials.
In this lab, Professor Yumiko Hirashima conducts experiments on the fundamental properties of polymer gels and develops physics teaching materials.
The lab experimentally studies polymer gels, which are materials similar to biological substances, focusing on properties such as swelling behavior and the volume phase transition.
In addition to developing physics teaching materials from familiar, inexpensive materials, the lab has also developed an experimental course on electric circuits for university students who aspire to become teachers.
In the university's researcher directory, the research keywords are listed as physical properties of polymer gels, physics teaching materials, and physics experiments.
Key terms
- Polymer gel
- A material similar to biological substances. The lab experimentally studies its properties, such as swelling behavior and the volume phase transition.
- Misconception
- An idea that is incorrect but that a learner holds strongly and uses as the basis for judgment when solving problems.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab experimentally investigates the fundamental properties of polymer gels, which are materials similar to biological substances, and develops physics teaching materials using familiar materials. It has also developed an experimental course that helps university students aspiring to become teachers relearn electric circuits.

An experimental course to correct misconceptions about current and voltage
Through a questionnaire survey, the lab found that undergraduates in teacher-training programs strongly hold four kinds of incorrect "students' own rules" about electric current and voltage. The lab developed an experimental course to resolve these misconceptions and help students acquire scientifically correct knowledge.
