Investigating Student Communities with Network Analysis of Interactions in a Physics Learning Center
Brewe, Eric; Kramer, Laird; Sawtelle, Vashti – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2012
Developing a sense of community among students is one of the three pillars of an overall reform effort to increase participation in physics, and the sciences more broadly, at Florida International University. The emergence of a research and learning community, embedded within a course reform effort, has contributed to increased recruitment and…

Traxler, Adrienne; Brewe, Eric – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
We report on seven years of attitudinal data using the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey from University Modeling Instruction (UMI) sections of introductory physics at Florida International University. University Modeling Instruction is a curricular and pedagogical transformation of introductory university physics that engages…

Brewe, Eric; Traxler, Adrienne; de la Garza, Jorge; Kramer, Laird H. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
We report on a multiyear study of student attitudes measured with the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey in calculus-based introductory physics taught with the Modeling Instruction curriculum. We find that five of six instructors and eight of nine sections using Modeling Instruction showed significantly improved attitudes from pre-…
