Resource | Generating Cognitive Dissonance in Student Interviews through Multiple Representations
This study explores what students understand about enzyme–substrate interactions, using multiple representations of the phenomenon. In this paper we describe our use of the 3 Phase-Single Interview Technique with multiple representations to generate cognitive dissonance within students in order to uncover misconceptions of enzyme–substrate interactions. Findings from 25 student interviews are…

Resource | Powering Up for the Head Start on Science Program: Using Power Analysis to Plan the Sample Size Required for a Multi-Site Cluster Randomized Trial
This intermediate session demonstrated how we conducted an a priori power analysis for a longitudinal,multisite cluster randomized trial of an early childhood science education program, then later revised it to accommodate budget changes suggested by the funder without compromising the viability of the study. We covered how the research questions, design, and analysis plan informed the power…

Announcement | New Resource!
The Diagnosing Teachers' Multiplicative Reasoning project has created 2 assessments for middle school teachers. The first assessment is intended to measure aspects of multiplicative reasoning critical for multiplication and division of fractions; the second assessment is intended to measure core aspects of proportional reasoning. To date, the test on fractions has been calibrated using a large…

Resource | Diagnosing Teachers’ Multiplicative Reasoning (DTMR) assessments
The Diagnosing Teachers’ Multiplicative Reasoning (DTMR) tests are designed for in-service middle grades teachers and emphasize knowledge needed (a) to think about fractions and proportional relationships as quantities and (b) to use drawn models (e.g., number line and area models) as the basis for solving problems. Given that the tests focus on content knowledge, these test could be used with…

Blog | Crossroads at the 2012 DR K-12 PI Meeting
Battling isolation is a continual challenge for science and math educators. As a novice science teacher, the closing of the classroom door effectively cut me off from all support systems. Later, as a university teacher educator, my interests in school-based teacher preparation isolated me from campus-bound traditions. And now, as a PI of an NSF project I realize that running a grant-funded…
