Contextualizing Communities in an Instructional Improvement Initiative: Exploring STEM Faculty Engagement in Teaching-Related Conversations

Creator:: Aster, Ellen, Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana, and Quardokus Fisher, Kathy
Abstract:: An oft-cited strategy for fostering instructional improvements to STEM education is creating faculty communities, where instructors can share and learn best teaching practices. Despite research-documented benefits, relatively little is known about why (and with whom) faculty engage in teaching-related conversations, including those fostered by initiatives. We explored how STEM faculty...

Engaging students around complex socioscientific issues : affordances and tensions of faculty working across disciplines to develop transdisciplinary curricula

Creator:: Lenhart, Cindy and Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana
Abstract:: There is growing recognition of the importance of engaging postsecondary students in experiences that can heighten their ability to solve complex socio-scientific problems. Transdisciplinary experiences are required to integrate and synthesize knowledge, skills, and ways of thinking across typical disciplinary boundaries reflected in higher education institutions. Creating transdisciplinary student experiences,...

Student Development at the Boundaries: Makerspaces as Affordances for Engineering Students’ Development

Creator:: Choi, Yoon Ha, Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana, Lenhart, Cindy A., Villanueva, Idalis, and Nadelson, Louis S.
Abstract:: University-based makerspaces are receiving increasing attention as promising innovations that may contribute to the development of future engineers. Using a theory of social boundary spaces, we investigated whether undergraduate student users at two university-based makerspaces in the United States viewed these spaces as affording their development as well-rounded professionals equipped...

Documenting and Advancing an Organizational Landscape of Teaching-related Routines for Science and Engineering Faculty: Informing Teaching Improvement Initiatives’ Design and Implementation

Creator:: Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana and Aster, Ellen
Abstract:: The numerous initiatives targeting postsecondary science education improvement are diverse. Yet a key strategy of many initiatives are new organizational routines, that can regularly bring faculty together to learn new teaching-related knowledge, skills, and commitments. Regardless of some evidence of the success of these initiatives, more theory-informed empirical investigations are...
