Presentation transcript:

Research Problem In one sentence, describe the problem that is the focus of your classroom research project about student learning: My students seem to come into class as literal thinkers, expecting problems to be relatively simple and straight forward, so have limited ability to handle complexity and multiple possible solutions to problems.

Assessment data – formative feedback Make the slope steeper Move both lines up

Research Question What is your research question? How do my students approach complex problem solving and does the approach change over the semester? What is the context (e.g. class setting, student audience) in which you will conduct your research? Upper level microbiology with pre-nursing, pre-dietetics, and science majors at sophomore to post baccalaureate levels with students

Research Methods My primary research methods include: One group pre-test/post-test design I will collect these data: Pre- and post-survey on problem solving ability – CLASS-Bio or PSI Homework problem responses – problem solving skill assessment rubric (to be designed) Volunteer recordings of problem solving process I will analyze the data by: Compare pre- and post-survey responses Compare one early and one late homework assignment score Code interviews (use “experts” from previous semesters for code book)

Pre-project timeline NowMid-Aug IRB application Consent forms Think-aloud protocol Etc…. Research rubric development Code book development Identification of different problem-solving skills

Project timeline StartEnd Whole class CLASS-Bio survey HW 2HW 12 CLASS-Bio survey HW training Al students? Audio recordings of problem solving efforts Scheduled early/late in semester Self-recorded?

Alignment of Research Question and Methods This is why I think it aligns: Triangulation Survey – self-report of problem solving skills at beginning and end of semester HW responses – assessed problem solving Recording – process of problem solving by individual students The data will help me answer my question by: Surveys – student-identified strengths/weaknesses HW responses – rubric-identified strengths/weaknesses Recordings – real-time process of problem solving
