The seminal research that developed phenomenography as a research methodology, forexample, investigated students’ understanding of velocity in a physics class[9]. Velocity was theconcept or “the thing”, but the researchers were actually interested in how students understoodvelocity, which is “the thing as it appeared”.

While the labs provide an opportunity for hands-onlearning, problem solving at all levels is primarily practiced through weekly homework problems,in introductory courses up through senior-level courses on more advanced topics.This case study
