The Effect of Value-Focused Discussions on Scientists' Ethical Decision Making
Tyler Garcia, Bill Bridges, Caitlin Solis +5
Many scientists view science as value-free, despite the fact that both epistemic and non-epistemic values structure scientific inquiry. Current ethics training usually focuses on t…
Student and AI responses to physics problems examined through the lenses of sensemaking and mechanistic reasoning
Amogh Sirnoorkar, Dean Zollman, James T. Laverty +3
Several reports in education have called for transforming physics learning environments by promoting sensemaking of real-world scenarios in light of curricular ideas. Recent advanc…
Theoretical exploration of task features that facilitate student sensemaking in physics
Amogh Sirnoorkar, James T. Laverty
Assessment tasks provide opportunities for students to make sense of novel contexts in light of their existing ideas. Consequently, investigations in physics education research hav…
Sensemaking and Scientific Modeling: Intertwined processes analyzed in the context of physics problem solving
Amogh Sirnoorkar, James T. Laverty, Paul D. O. Bergeron
Researchers in physics education have advocated both for including modeling in science classrooms as well as promoting student engagement with sensemaking. These two processes faci…
Assessing Scientific Practices in Physics Paper-based Assessments
Amali Priyanka Jambuge, James T. Laverty
Calls to transform introductory college physics courses to include scientific practices require assessments that can measure the extent to which these transformations are effective…
Influences on Faculty Uptake from a Faculty Learning Community
Lydia G. Bender, James T. Laverty
Professional development is a tool that faculty members use to develop knowledge and skills that help them become better teachers. We investigate what influences affect the ways in…
