| | Phong Model - Specular Reflection |
| | Specular reflection is when the reflection is stronger in one viewing direction, i.e., there is a bright spot, called a specular highlight. | | | The coefficient of specular reflection ks is usually not the same as the coefficient of diffuse reflection kd or the ambient reflection ka. | | | So if R is the direction of specular reflection and V is the direction of the viewer (located at the View Reference Point or VRP), then for an ideal reflector the specular reflection is visible only when V and R coincide. |

| | The connection between epistemological self-reflection and conceptual learning in physics seen in a pilot study was replicated in a larger study, in which the coded reflections from the Weekly Reports of thirty students were correlated with their conceptual learning gains. | | | Describing learning physics concepts in terms of logical reasoning and making personal connections were positively correlated with gains; describing learning from authority figures or by observing phenomena without making inferences were negatively correlated. | | | To explore students’ epistemological beliefs in a variety of conceptual domains in physics, and in a specific and novel context of measurement, this Dissertation makes use of Weekly Reports, a class assignment in which students reflect in writing on what they learn each week and how they learn it. |
