Qualitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination

Qualitative research in PER has been a foundational part of the field since its inception. This research approach is characterized by methods that draw upon non-numeric data; researchers often see qualitative research as a means of gaining a rich understanding of an area. Qualitative research can often be poignant for audiences, as such research can provide information in someone’s own words connecting readers on a more personal level, promoting lasting insights. Like any research methodology, qualitative methods inform researchers on possible research questions, types, and ways to collect data, and the lessons these data can provide. Gaining a rich understanding is of high interest for PER, from learning more about different physics learning spaces to getting detailed explanations on why and how one arrives at an answer.

Experiments are an integral part of physics research and physics instruction. In physics research, an experiment is a reproducible empirical procedure for acquiring knowledge. Experimental physicists use experiments to gather empirical evidence by developing research questions, and designing and conducting appropriate experiments to answer these questions (see Chap. 1 ). They control and systematically alter parameters during data collection. An experiment requires comprehensive planning, precise data acquisition, analysis of the experimental data and their interpretation in the context of a theoretical framework. In research, the experiment primarily serves as a method to test assumptions about the outcomes of the experiment (hypotheses) in order to generate new insight and evidence (more differentiated considerations on the procedure and significance of experimentation in physics research are discussed in Chap. 5 ). In physics education, the experiment has many additional and different functions and serves a variety of goals. Teachers can use experiments as tools to convey new content knowledge, for example, by demonstrating a physics phenomenon or by investigating laws of physics quantitatively. In addition, experiments can be used to support students in learning experimentation as a fundamental method to establish and verify knowledge and to offer insights into processes of scientific inquiry. Furthermore, experimentation as a method has to be discussed in the context of nature of science knowledge and nature of scientific inquiry , which is discussed in detail in Chap. 5 . Physics teachers should know and be able to use the various functions of experimental activities in physics learning. In this chapter, we highlight the diversity of experimental approaches in physics instruction, their different goals (see Sect.  10.1 ) and their designs (see Sect.  10.2 ). Finally, we present recommendations for teaching from multiple instructional perspectives, including related psychological and pedagogical aspects (see Sect.  10.3 ).

Advance in forensic fingerprint research provides new hope for cold cases

by Meg Cox, Loughborough University

Researchers have unveiled a method capable of detecting drug substances from fingerprints lifted from crime scenes, which could provide fresh insights into unsolved cases. The research is published in the journal Drug Testing and Analysis .

Analytical scientists from Loughborough University have demonstrated for the first time that drug residue—namely the fast-acting sleeping pill Zolpidem, which has been linked to drug-facilitated sexual assault and drink spiking —can be detected on gel-lifted fingerprints.

Dr. Jim Reynolds and Dr. Ayoung Kim say the breakthrough could shed new light on cold cases and unsolved crimes as forensic gel lifters—which transfer prints onto a gelatin surface—are used globally by scenes of crimes officers to preserve and visualize fingerprints.

"This is the first time that analysis of gel-lifted prints for a drug substance has been accomplished, and shows that lifted prints and other forensic marks can be interrogated for useful information," says Dr. Reynolds, the research lead.

"Since gel-lifted prints and marks can be stored for many years, the technique could be of real use in cold cases where additional information may prove useful to either link or exonerate a suspect to the investigation. Working with police forces and applying the method to cold case samples could help bring criminals to justice who may have thought they have got away with it."

A number of tests exist to detect drugs directly from fingerprints, but these face limitations. They can be destructive to the fingerprint, degrade drug residues, and be affected by environmental interferences.

It has long been speculated that gel-lifted prints contain valuable chemical information and could offer more accurate drug detection.

However, traditional techniques used to analyze the chemicals present in a sample have previously not been suitable for gel lifters. This is because they detect all chemicals present, including those that make up the gel, making it difficult to identify specific substances.

The method used by Dr. Reynolds and Dr. Kim, called sfPESI-MS, overcomes this issue using a rapid separation mechanism that distinguishes the drug substance from the background of the gel.

The process involves sampling the chemicals from the gel lifters into tiny liquid droplets. The chemicals extracted into the droplets are then ionized, which means they gain or lose electric charge depending on their chemical properties. The drug substance chemicals are more surface active than the chemicals originating from the gel, which enables them to be separated from the mixture.

This separation method enables the direct detection of a drug substance using mass spectrometry , a technique that identifies chemicals by measuring their molecular weight. The researchers have successfully tested the technique using Zolpidem-laced fingerprints lifted from glass, metal, and paper surfaces in a laboratory setting.

They now hope to work with police forces to analyze stored gel-lifted prints and use the method to identify other substances.

Dr. Reynolds said, "Zolpidem was the focus of our research, but the method could just as easily be applied to other drug substances a person may have been handling and could be applied to other chemicals such as explosives, gunshot residues, paints, and dyes.

"By linking chemical information to the fingerprint, we can identify the individual and link to the handling of an illicit substance which may prove useful in a prosecution. This could be useful to detect individuals who have been spiking drinks; for example, if the drug they are using gets onto their fingertips, then they will leave evidence at the scene."

Dr. Kim, who is the first author of the paper and completed the research as part of her Ph.D. at Loughborough, added, "We would like to apply our method to real samples from criminal investigations; it would be good to know my Ph.D. research has helped bring criminals to justice."
