Closeness in a physics faculty online learning community predicts impacts in self-efficacy and teaching
Chase Hatcher, Edward Price, P. Sean Smith +2
Community-based professional development initiatives have been shown to support physics faculty in their adoption of research-based instructional strategies. Hoping to better under…
The role physics can play in a multi-disciplinary curriculum for non-physics scientists and engineers
Edward F. Redish, Vashti Sawtelle, Chandra Turpen
At many physics departments a significant fraction of teaching is in support of engineers and scientists in other majors. These service courses are thus an automatic crucible of in…
Assessing the interactivity and prescriptiveness of faculty professional development workshops: The Real-Time Professional Development Observation Tool (R-PDOT)
Alice Olmstead, Chandra Turpen
Professional development workshops are one of the primary mechanisms used to help faculty improve their teaching, and draw in many STEM instructors every year. Although workshops s…
"I got in trouble": A case study of faculty "doing school" during professional development
Alice Olmstead, Chandra Turpen
Professional development workshops are commonly used to promote the adoption of research-based instructional strategies among physics and astronomy faculty. After learning about su…
Leveraging a Relationship with Biology to Expand a Relationship with Physics
Vashti Sawtelle, Chandra Turpen
This work examines how experiences in one disciplinary domain (biology) can impact the relationship a student builds with another domain (physics). We present a model for disciplin…
A Vision of Interdisciplinary Education: Students' Reasoning about "High-Energy Bonds" and ATP
Benjamin W. Dreyfus, Vashti Sawtelle, Chandra Turpen +2
As interdisciplinary courses are developed, instructors and researchers have to grapple with questions of how students should make connections across disciplines. We explore the is…
