Title: Unpacking Iteration: Exploring Forms of Iterative Practice in Physics Labs
Iteration is pervasive in current perspectives of student reasoning, but it is also often assumed, backgrounded, or minimized in favor of other empirical interests and results, despite being foundational to reasoning processes and inquiry. This paper forefronts iterative practice while examining student reasoning in a reform-based undergraduate physics lab course. We present an instrumental case study analysis of a single student group, documenting how they engaged in micro- and macro-levels of iterative practice at the nexus of experimental activity and sensemaking throughout their experimentation. These results illustrate the nuance in students’ iterative practice at different levels and prompt new questions about how different forms of iterative practice may impact student learning.  more » « less

    To date, there are currently many variations of inquiry-based instruction including problem-based learning (PBL), lecture prior to problem solving, and case-based learning (CBL). While each claim to support problem-solving, they also include different levels of student- centeredness and instructor support. From an educational perspective, further clarity is needed to determine which model best supports learning outcomes such as conceptual knowledge, causal reasoning, and self-efficacy. While various meta-analyses have been conducted to ascertain how inquiry-based instruction compares with lecture-based approaches, there are few studies that directly compare these methods. To address this gap, this study looked at the effects of PBL, lecture prior to problem-solving, and CBL on students conceptual knowledge, causal reasoning, and self-efficacy (N = 91). While no significant difference was found on self-efficacy, the results found that learners in the PBL group performed highest on conceptual knowledge. In terms of causal reasoning, the PBL group outperformed other conditions on correctly identified connections. However, the PBL condition also had the highest number of incorrectly identified concepts. Implications for theory and practice are also discussed.

    The Innovate to Mitigate project adapts crowdsourcing to support project-based STEM education, posing design challenges for secondary-school students to design feasible innovative strategies to mitigate CO2 emissions and thus global warming. The paper presents evidence that the web-mediated communities of practice support learning of STEM concepts and practices and provides an account of how student and scientist discourse support that learning. Productive talk deployed by community members elicited greater levels of reasoning than was originally manifest in student work and resulted in improved student products.

    Understanding the thought processes of students as they progress from initial (incorrect) answers toward correct answers is a challenge for instructors, both in this pandemic and beyond. This paper presents a general network visualization learning analytics system that helps instructors to view a sequence of answers input by students in a way that makes student learning progressions apparent. The system allows instructors to study individual and group learning at various levels of granularity. The paper illustrates how the visualization system is employed to analyze student responses collected through an intervention. The intervention is BeginToReason, an online tool that helps students learn and use symbolic reasoning-reasoning about code behavior through abstract values instead of concrete inputs. The specific focus is analysis of tool-collected student responses as they perform reasoning activities on code involving conditional statements. Student learning is analyzed using the visualization system and a post-test. Visual analytics highlights include instances where students producing one set of incorrect answers initially perform better than a different set and instances where student thought processes do not cluster well. Post-test data analysis provides a measure of student ability to apply what they have learned and their holistic understanding.

    A variety of research studies reveal the advantages of actively engaging students in the learning process through collaborative work in the classroom. However, the complex nature of the learning environment in large college general chemistry courses makes it challenging to identify the different factors that affect students’ cognitive and social engagement while working on in-class tasks. To provide insights into this area, we took a closer look at students’ conversations during in-class activities to characterize typical discourse patterns and expressed chemical thinking in representative student groups in samples collected in five different learning environments across four universities. For this purpose, we adapted and applied a ‘Community of Learners’ (CoL) theoretical perspective to characterize group activity through the analysis of student discourse. Within a CoL perspective, the extent to which a group functions as a community of learners is analyzed along five dimensions including Community of Discourse (CoD), Legitimization of Differences (LoD), Building on Ideas (BoI), Reflective Learning (RL), and Community of Practice (CoP). Our findings make explicit the complexity of analyzing student engagement in large active learning environments where a multitude of variables can affect group work. These include, among others, group size and composition, the cognitive level of the tasks, the types of cognitive processes used to complete tasks, and the motivation and willingness of students to substantively engage in disciplinary reasoning. Our results point to important considerations in the design and implementation of active learning environments that engage more students with chemical ideas at higher levels of reasoning.

    Research on covariational reasoning has continued to evolve as researchers learn more about how students coordinate two (or more) quantities’ values as covarying. In this study, I examine the connection between students’ covariational reasoning and how they interpret the value of a rate of change. The findings suggest that attending to students’ quantification of a rate of change can provide insight into their covariational reasoning and how we might better support students in reasoning at higher levels. Additionally, this manuscript provides an update to the Carlson et al. (2002) Covariation Framework that includes two additional categories of student reasoning and an additional dimension that describes students’ interpretation of a rate value at each level of the framework.
