Abstract Title: Mapping intent and impact of activity design in a computationally integrated physics course
Abstract Type: Contributed Poster Presentation
Abstract: In this poster, we demonstrate the suitability of conjecture mapping for specifying misalignments between intent and impact of curricular design. We situate our methodological inquiry in the context of a multi-day activity within a computationally integrated physics course, informed by data from interviews and ethnographic observations. Specifically, we consider affect through the theoretical frameworks of physics computational literacy and physics identity. We find that centering separate analyses on student and professor perspectives produces distinct conjecture maps that highlight misalignments in two different uses of mediating processes, which provides insight into the paths towards unintended affective outcomes.
