| Abstract Title: | Responsive teaching in an Upper-division classroom |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Responsive Teaching is a philosophy which focuses on instructors' in-the-moment responses to students' emerging ideas, and the structural decisions about classroom climate and activities which promote student agency and inquiry. It is unexplored in the highly canonized and content-driven upper-division context. In this study, we develop a case study of responsive teaching in an upper-division electromagnetic fields course. Through artifact analysis of lesson plans, discourse analysis classroom video of events, and reflective interviews with the instructor, we show interactional and structural features of the classroom which promote students' agency as pre-service physicists. |
