| Abstract: | Students' framing of an activity – their understanding of "what is it that's going on here" [1] – shapes how they act, think, and learn. Prior research suggests that framing instructional physics laboratory activities as confirming known results is problematic for learning [2, 3]. Here, we complicate those findings by presenting a case-study of students who exhibit confirmation framing and engage in productive behavior. We claim that their productive behavior is supported by their confirmation framing; put another way, we claim that their confirmation framing engenders their productive behavior. The case-study reported on here is part of a larger project studying student behavior in non-traditional physics labs. |
