Storyboarding Water Properties Nora Egan Demers Joanna Salapska-Gelleri

Background- how we got here What we did What we’ve learned so far What we’d like to do Can it play a valuable role in program assessment? 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

Background- How we got here Whitaker Center sponsored support to attend Gordon Research Conference – (confidential)- but the NSF sponsors pre- conference workshops we can talk about! 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

VISUALIZATION IN SCIENCE & EDUCATION July 3-8, 2005 The Queen's College Oxford, United Kingdom 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

Whitaker Center sponsored participation in GRC pre-conference workshop on Visualization in Science and Education –Introduced to concepts of perception storyboard methods to assess and compare textual to visual representations Haptics- 3D molecular models magnets to show properties of water 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

“Teaching Cell” assignment 2006 Demers and Salapska-Gelleri –Walks around loop road – Lunch Brainstormed on shared interests IDS, learning, biology, cognition, etc 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

What we did What is a “fundamental and powerful concept” in Biology (and other natural sciences)? Drafted storyboard to assess student understanding of knowledge before and after using cool magnets in hands-on learning approach in Gen Bio I Approach D. Schmidt with idea- she suggested 3 rd box to extend to assess their understanding of higher level application – how does water go up a tree? 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

Storyboard pilot Invited colleagues to implement in their sections- we would score and return (if desired) 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

What we did-variations on theme Pre-quiz “lecture” Activity, worksheet Post-quiz 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

Pilot project- Storyboards on chemical properties of Water Freedom for each instructor to implement as desired –Allowed comparison of teaching methods 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

Show rubric here Scored and refined rubric Check for consistency in scoring Entered data 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

Preliminary Analyses Conducted Scores based on collapsed values for Boxes 1 and 2. Comparison of baseline knowledge for written versus graphic water properties. Gains from class activity as a function of Pre and Post test performance. Evaluation techniques: concurrent, homework, in-class post.

Pilot project- Storyboards on chemical properties of Water Comparison of Methods 1.Pre-test, in-class activity, post-test. 2.Pre-test, in-class activity, post-test as homework. 3.Concurrent in-class activity and worksheet. 4.Laissez-Faire post-test. 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

What did they retain? In two of sections the post was done again during DNA replication chapter –Tried to reinforced importance of distinguishing hydrogen and covalent bonding properties –Those data showed 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

What we’ve learned so far- qualitative Motivation to complete task influences success at demonstrating concepts Motivations that are effective include grading (most importantly--it has to count!) They showed better learning on “post” that was homework or filled out during activity They need very careful guidance to be able to demonstrate even basic knowledge immediately after activity (spoon fed!) 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

What we’d like to do Reassess later in term and in future classes Submitted IACUC application Compare to other benchmarks –SAT, GPA, class grade, etc 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

Can it play a valuable role in program assessment? 1/10/2016Demers and Salapska-Gelleri

Whitaker Center initiative? Can we collaborate? Can we apply for grants? Can we earn grants? What do we need to do? You help decide future of project and its scope
