Quantum physics knowledge construction with peers in the problems with different mathematical nature — •Nilüfer Didiş Körhasan¹ and Gesche Pospiech² — ¹Ereğli Faculty of Education, Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, 67300, Zonguldak, Türkiye — ²Faculty of Physics, TU Dresden, 01187, Dresden, Germany

Considering the relationship between mathematics and physics, the technical function of mathematics in physics refers to approaches that are often superficial, while the structural role of mathematics in physics refers to deeper linkages (Pospiech, 2019). In this research, we investigate students' quantum physics knowledge construction with peers in problems with different mathematical nature. In an undergraduate level quantum theory course, 36 quantum physics problems categorized as having a "structural" or "technical" nature were asked in different subjects. In several sessions through the semester, students answered the questions in two rounds, first individually and then with their self-constructed groups. Students also reflected on their experiences with the mathematical issues in quantum physics problems. Results indicate how the mathematical nature of quantum physics problems was dealt with by peers during the knowledge construction with peers.
