Megan; Straub, Jacob N.; Bunnell, Sarah L.; Witkovsky-Eldred, Marissa – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2020
Multisite, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in the Ecological Research as Education Network (EREN) were assessed for impacts on student learning of collaborative science skills using a survey that could serve as a starting point for a validated assessment instrument for multisite CUREs. Pretests/posttests were administered…

Holmes, N. G.; Heath, Grace; Hubenig, Katelynn; Jeon, Sophia; Kalender, Z. Yasemin; Stump, Emily; Sayre, Eleanor C. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Physics education research is replete with observations and proposed explanations for gender disparities in physics. In this work, we operationalize a definition for equity as everyone has access to the learning environment and everyone's voice is heard (adapted from previous definitions). We review prior research that observed inequities in…

Weisenfeld, G. G.; Hodges, Katherine; Garver, Karin – National Institute for Early Education Research, 2020
In most states kindergarten entry assessments (KEA) are employed primarily to inform parents and teachers. KEAs can serve as a key indicator of child development at formal school entry to inform education, but also could serve as a baseline for assessing progress in the early grades. However, their usefulness for this purpose is limited because…

Gough, Noel – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2011
In this essay I explore a number of questions about purposes and methods in science education research prompted by my reading of Wesley Pitts' ethnographic study of interactions among four students and their teacher in a chemistry classroom in the Bronx, New York City. I commence three "lines of flight" (small acts of Deleuzo-Guattarian…
