Pazicni, Samuel; Wink, Donald J.; Donovan, Ashley; Conrad, John A.; Darr, Joshua P.; Morgan Theall, Rachel A.; Richter-Egger, Dana L.; Villalta-Cerdas, Adrian; Walker, Deborah Rush – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This contribution reports the process and outcomes of a multiyear effort that supported institutions in reforming general chemistry using multidimensional learning approaches in the form of performance expectations. Performance expectations are based on evidence-centered assessment design principles and describe what learners should be able to do…

Ulrika Bossér – Research in Science Education, 2024
The incorporation of socioscientific issues into science teaching to promote students' scientific literacy may require that science teachers reconsider and transform their teaching practices. This study examines the knowledge and considerations involved when two teachers incorporated socioscientific issues into their teaching, with the aim of…

Anna Margiotta – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Using Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) and reflexive Thematic Analysis (TA) methods, the purpose of this case study was to construct theory about equity for students studying chemistry at public universities in Colorado. Interviews with students (N=12), chemistry instructors (N=9), and equity practitioners (N=9) as well as observations of…

Alexandra Werth; Benjamin Pollard; Robert Hobbs; H. J. Lewandowski – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Understanding measurement uncertainty is crucial in experimental physics, as it enables accurate and reliable measurements, facilitates comparison between measurements, and aids in designing experiments. Consequently, measurement uncertainty has emerged as a critical learning goal for many introductory physics labs. Here, we explore the impact of…

Meng-Jun Chen; Hsiao-Ching She; Pei-Yi Tsai – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Despite national curricula and instructional reforms calling for collaborative problem-solving skills (CPS), however, there is an absence of a theory-laden model showing how to effectively construct CPS for science learning. We therefore developed and validated a simulation-based CPS model that exploits its constructs, sequences, and causal…

Underwood, Sonia M.; Kararo, Alex T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While there have been an increasing number of evidence-based instructional strategies propagated, less literature exists on how to propagate a curriculum. This paper is meant to present how the theory of "Design-Based Implementation Research" (DBIR) can be used as a framework to propagate such innovative curricula. DBIR is a research…

Allensworth, Elaine; Cashdollar, Sarah; Cassata, Amy – AERA Open, 2022
The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and Next Generation Science Standards encourage substantial shifts in teaching, but how to enact change is not specified. This mixed-methods exploratory study shows how different implementation supports were related to teachers' use of standards-aligned instructional practices in the Chicago Public…

Scott, Emily E.; Wenderoth, Mary Pat; Doherty, Jennifer H. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
"Vision and Change" challenged biology instructors to develop evidence-based instructional approaches that were grounded in the core concepts and competencies of biology. This call for reform provides an opportunity for new educational tools to be incorporated into biology education. In this essay, we advocate for learning progressions…

Barthelemy, Ramón; Lenz, MacKenzie; Knaub, Alexis; Gerton, Jordan; Sandick, Pearl – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
In 2017 the University of Utah experienced a tragedy which catalyzed already active changes in the department. In the aftermath, admissions to the graduate program was paused while new policies were developed and implemented. This article outlines this change process through the perspectives and accounts of those involved. Through in-depth…
