Learning in a physics classroom community : physics learning identity construct development, measurement and validation

Creator:: Li, Sissi L.
Abstract:: At the university level, introductory science courses usually have high student to teacher ratios which increases the challenge to meaningfully connect with students. Various curricula have been developed in physics education to actively engage students in learning through social interactions with peers and instructors in class. This learning environment demands...

Small group discussions in large lecture : connections between teacher facilitation and student participation

Creator:: Roth, Jennifer A. (Jennifer Albretsen)
Abstract:: An investigation was made to determine teacher facilitation techniques in large lecture physics classrooms that foster small group discussion. Video recordings of an introductory calculus-based physics class were taken for the 2008-2009 academic year at Oregon State University. These videos were analyzed to determine student participation in small group discussion...

Carbon nanotube devices engineered by atomic force microscopy

Creator:: Prisbrey, Landon
Abstract:: This dissertation explores the engineering of carbon nanotube electronic devices using atomic force microscopy (AFM) based techniques. A possible application for such devices is an electronic interface with individual biological molecules. This single molecule biosensing application is explored both experimentally and with computational modeling. Scanning probe microscopy techniques, such as...

The influence of participating in a mandatory mixed-format student success seminar on persistence in an urban community college

Creator:: Mendoza, James A.
Abstract:: Over the past twenty years, the national three-year graduation rate for community college students has ranged from 44% to roughly 31% in 2013 (NCES, 2013). As a way to address such low graduation rates, colleges have implemented a myriad of services and programs (i.e., tutoring, mentoring, etc.). Another intervention is...

Assessing the Implications of the 2016 Oregon Minimum Wage Increase for Direct Market Farmers and Their Employees

Creator:: Trant, Lindsay A.
Abstract:: Oregon is one of several states to implement a new and innovative minimum wage policy. The Oregon policy defines three regions with each having a separate initial minimum wage and a different set of incremental increases over the next seven years. This paper explores how this policy change may impact...

Exploring Involvement : A Qualitative Study

Creator:: Flowers, Kyle
Abstract:: Involvement has been defined and researched by many student affairs professionals and theorists over the past 40 plus years. While many studies have researched the relationship between involvement and a student's academic success, little research has been done that explores what involvement means to them, and the motivations and factors...
