Rocks and reactors : an atomic interpretation of human rights, 1941-1979

Creator:: Richards, Linda Marie
Abstract:: The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...

A practical implementation of self-efficacy theory to improve the engineering curriculum

Creator:: Plisch, Marjorie
Abstract:: What are the most effective ways to improve the engineering curriculum? Improvements should result in increased student retention, undergraduates who are more industry-ready and graduates who are better prepared to be leaders. Current research suggests that the best predictor of persistence is a person’s self-efficacy. The focus of this thesis...

Student views on science and the scientific process : studying changes made in a redesigned non-major introductory science course

Creator:: Price, Matthew F.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand how instruction in an introductory nonmajor astronomy course at Oregon State University affects how non-science majors view science and the scientific process. The study used research-based methods to design a reform-based lecture/lab course and implement it for students. Two top-level questions were...

Geometric reasoning in an active-engagement upper-division E&M classroom

Creator:: Cerny, Leonard Thomas
Abstract:: A combination of theoretical perspectives is used to create a rich description of student reasoning when facing a highly-geometric electricity and magnetism problem in an upper-division active-engagement physics classroom at Oregon State University. Geometric reasoning as students encounter problem situations ranging from familiar to novel is described using van Zee...

Evaluating the impacts of a classroom-based citizen science project on nature connectedness, science identity, and knowledge of curricular material

Creator:: Williams, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Environmental education programs seek to foster an appreciation for the natural world while introducing students to scientific thinking. Citizen science engages non-scientists in the systematic collection and analysis of data. The Betts Forest Landscape Ecology Lab combines both goals by inviting teachers in Corvallis, Oregon, and surrounding areas to participate...
