Prefontaine, Brean; Mullen, Claire; Güven, Jonna Jasmin; Rispler, Caleb; Rethman, Callie; Bergin, Shane D.; Hinko, Kathleen; Fracchiolla, Claudia – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Many undergraduate and graduate physics students participate in some form of public engagement throughout the course of their studies, often through groups supported by physics departments and universities. These informal teaching and learning programs can offer unique opportunities for both participants and facilitators to interact in a way that…

Hamerski, Paul C.; Irving, Paul W.; McPadden, Daryl – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Despite the growing presence of students as partners (SAP) in education research and the overlap of goals with learning assistant (LA) programs, there is little research done on pedagogy- and curriculum-focused student partnerships that involve LAs. LAs have expertise as both teachers and learners, so why not leverage this expertise to improve the…

Maltby, Jennifer L.; Brooks, Christopher; Horton, Marjorie; Morgan, Helen – Learning Communities: Research & Practice, 2016
Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) degrees provide opportunities for economic mobility. Yet women, underrepresented minority (URM), and first-generation college students remain disproportionately underrepresented in STEM fields. This study examined the effectiveness of a living-learning community (LLC) for URM and first-generation…

Engelmann, Carol A. – ProQuest LLC, 2014
This dissertation serves as a call to geoscientists to share responsibility with K-12 educators for increasing Earth science literacy. When partnerships are created among K-12 educators and geoscientists, the synergy created can promote Earth science literacy in students, teachers, and the broader community. The research described here resulted in…
