Upholding Active Learning Reform in STEM - Project at UA Little Rock
Upholding Active Learning Reform in STEM - Project at UA Little Rock
The UALRS project builds on theory and evidence to introduce new STEM faculty to scientific teaching practices, create communities of practice supporting pedagogical innovation, and co-design communities of transformation that would challenge and reimagine policies to better incentivize teaching reform. I mentor an undergraduate team in conducting quantitative and qualitative data collection and analyses, and work on communicating results to administration, for conferences, and for publication.
A CURE for Failure
A CURE for Failure
The work that began with my dissertation work and continued as an NSF STEM Education Postdoctoral Fellow looked at how students experience failure in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). Check out the website to learn more!
Based on some of the findings from this work, two research teams are expanding to: (1) understand scientists' own stories of educational and professional failures and investigate how scientists learned to navigate those failures and (2) study what students truly understand as failure in science and develop a survey to assess this.
Are you an instructor and/or scientist and want to contribute to our data collection?
