| Abstract Title: | Characterizing Participation in and around the Physics Classroom |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | A major aspect of educational reform in college physics has been the design of learning environments that improve student understanding and attitudes toward science. One of the most direct impacts that these reforms have is in how they restructure students' participation in and around the physics classroom, including how and where students interact with peers, instructors, technology, and curricular materials. This session focuses on research approaches that aim to capture and characterize the nature of students' participation within various educational spaces, which represent reforms common to physics education. In discussing their studies, presenters will be asked to reflect upon how their research frameworks, methodologies, and findings contributes to conceptualizations of students' progress and successful programs in ways that go beyond traditional measures. |
