Exploring student reasoning in statistical mechanics: Identifying challenges in problem-solving groups

Statistical mechanics has received limited attention in physics education research and remains a relatively underrepresented topic even in research on upper-division physics courses. The purpose of this study was to explore potential challenges that physics students encounter when they solve statist...
