How the learning environment predicts male and female students' motivational beliefs in algebra-based introductory physics courses
Sonja Cwik, Kyle Whitcomb, Chandralekha Singh
Societal stereotypes and biases pertaining to who belongs in physics and who can excel in physics can impact motivational beliefs, e.g., of women and racial and ethnic minority stu…
How learning environment predicts male and female students' physics motivational beliefs in introductory physics courses
Yangqiuting Li, Kyle Whitcomb, Chandralekha Singh
In this study, we adapt prior identity framework to investigate the effect of learning environment (including perceived recognition, peer interaction and sense of belonging) on stu…
How perception of being recognized or not recognized by instructors as a "physics person" impacts male and female students' self-efficacy and performance
Yangqiuting Li, Kyle Whitcomb, Chandralekha Singh
We discuss a study in a first year college introductory physics course for physical science and engineering majors that shows that women, on average, feel less recognized by their…
Holistic framework to help students learn effectively from research-validated self-paced learning tools
Emily Marshman, Seth DeVore, Chandralekha Singh
With limited time available in the classroom, e-learning tools can supplement in-class learning by providing opportunities for students to study and learn outside of class. Such to…
Toward more accurate measurement of the impact of online instructional design on students' ability to transfer physics problem-solving skills
Kyle M. Whitcomb, Matthew W. Guthrie, Chandralekha Singh +1
In two earlier studies, we developed a new method to measure students' ability to transfer physics problem solving skills to new contexts using a sequence of online learning module…
Inequity exemplified by underrepresented minority students receiving lower grades and having higher rates of attrition across STEM disciplines
Kyle M. Whitcomb, Chandralekha Singh
Underrepresented minority (URM) students are subjected to historically rooted inequities when pursuing an education, especially in STEM disciplines with little diversity. In order…
