| Abstract Title: | Learning Assistants Implementation: Student Attitudes Results |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | In the fall of 2012, the West Virginia University Learning Assistants (LA) program was expanded to include the second semester calculus-based physics course. This poster reports changes in attitudes (measured with the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey) in data collected after the implementation compared to baseline data collected during the pre-LA semesters of 2011. We show the modified course has improved pre-post attitude changes in some categories, which extends to female and first-generation students. We explore the significance of and suggest reasons for these differences. (This project is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. EPS-1003907.) |
