The premise of the AAU project is three-fold

  • Engaging faculty to

determine the scientific practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas for the gateway STEM courses will lead to changes in classroom practice and changes in assessment practices

SLIDE 3

With RTOP, TDOP, OTOP, and COPUS already available, why bother developing another observation protocol?

  • Existing assessment instruments focus on the “how” of teaching
  • 3D-LOP also incorporates the “what” of teaching:
  • Scientific practices
  • Crosscutting concepts
  • Disciplinary core ideas
  • Phenomena

The Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM (COPUS)

(COPUS): A New Instrument to Characterize University STEM Classroom Practices. CBE-Life Sciences Education, 12(4), 618-627.

  • Records how both instructors and students spend their time
  • Each 2-minute interval is a unit of analysis
  • Coders can be reliably trained in ~90 min

Another way to view the COPUS data is to put it on a timeline

7 teaching activities constitute the “how” of the observations

  • 1. Clicker questions
  • 2. Tasks
  • 3. Interactions
  • 4. Lecture
  • 5. Administration
  • 6. Miscellaneous
  • 7. Questions

Students respond with personal response instruments

  • Students work together or alone to solve a

problem, construct a diagram, etc. Substantive and possibly lengthy exchanges between the instructor and students Instructor-directed presentation of content- related information “Housekeeping” items such as exam logistics, scheduling, and announcements Anything that does not fit above Content-related questions from the instructor Mutually exclusive and complete

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Scientific practices, crosscutting concepts, core ideas and phenomena constitute the “what” of the observations

  • 1. Scientific practices
  • 2. Crosscutting concepts
  • 3. Disciplinary core ideas
  • 4. Phenomena
  • Asking questions
  • Developing and using models
  • Constructing explanations
  • Patterns
  • Scale, proportion, and quantity
  • Stability and change
  • The cell is the fundamental unit of life.
  • DNA is the source of heritable information.
  • Basic structural units define the function of

all living things.

  • When instructors contextualize learning for

students using real-world examples, videos, images, etc.

slide-13
SLIDE 13

How do the following measures change between years 1 and 3 in the disciplines as the result of engaging faculty? How much class time involves: How frequently is class time contextualized using phenomena? How frequently do instructors solicit input from students with questions? What does instruction look like that overlaps core ideas, practices, and crosscutting concepts?

Research questions

  • scientific practices?

crosscutting concepts? disciplinary core ideas? student-centered activities (clicker questions, tasks, and interaction)?

Teaching practice in these courses will be measured with

  • 3D-LOP in year 1 (2013-14) and year 3 (2015-16) of the project
  • BS 161: Cell and Molecular Biology
  • BS 162: Organismal and Population Biology

Biology

  • CEM 141: General Chemistry
  • CEM 142: General and Inorganic Chemistry
  • CEM 151: General and Descriptive Chemistry
  • CEM 152: Principles of Chemistry

Chemistry

  • PHY 183: Physics for Scientists and Engineers I
  • PHY 184: Physics for Scientists and Engineers II
  • PHY 231: Introductory Physics I
  • PHY 232: Introductory Physics II

Each section of each course will be observed

  • three times for each year of data collection
  • Section 1
  • Section 2
  • Section 3
  • Section 4

Fall 2013

  • Section 1
  • Section 2
  • Section 3
  • Section 4
  • Section 5

Spring 2014 For example, BS 161: Cell and Molecular Biology was recorded 27 times in 2013-14. 12 recordings 15 recordings

slide-16
SLIDE 16

StudioCode is the software package that will be used to analyze the classroom recordings

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Measures for reliability, validity, and objectivity

  • Reliability: Multiple iterations of multiple researchers coding the same

recordings

  • Validity: Vetting selections with disciplinary researchers
  • Objectivity: One-third of year 1 videos will be blind coded with all year 3

recordings

slide-18
SLIDE 18

The software and our coding scheme will allow us to more deeply analyze individual teaching activities through labeling

  • Potential criteria (labels) for clicker questions:
  • Do students have time to think alone?
  • Do students have the time to discuss with
  • ne another?
  • Are the students re-polled?

A possible question for discussion

  • How to give feedback to faculty (if at all)?
