DRK-12 Research and Products
Publication | From a social semiotic perspective, students’ use of language is fundamental to mathematical meaning making. We applied thematic analysis to examine students’ use of geometric and contextual ideas while solving a geometry problem that required…
Publication | This brief article provides an overview of how to use the SageModeler systems modeling tool with an ocean acidification model as an example.
Publication | The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of different instruments, independently developed and traditionally used for measuring science teachers’ beliefs in short-term interventions, to longitudinally measure teachers’ changing…
Publication | This brief examines the continued underrepresentation of African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and women of all racial and ethnic backgrounds in STEM fields; explains the benefits of collaboration around broadening participation; and…
Publication | This paper presents the development of an immersive user interface on a tablet device that can be used by engineering students to interact with a motor test-bed as they examine the effects of discrete-time pole locations on the closed-loop…
Presentation | Variations of this slide deck were used in 3 different presentations this summer about the Teachers with Guts project.
Publication | This essay, intended for faculty involved in small-scale projects, courses, or educational research, provides a step-by-step guide to the process of developing, scoring, and validating high-quality content knowledge assessments.
Publication | Supporting Secondary Students in Building External Models is a collaborative project with Michigan State University and the Concord Consortium, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to examine how to support secondary school students…
Tool | List of postdoc opportunities and related resources.
Publication | How do we measure knowledge in use? In this paper we describe how we use principles of evidence-centered design to develop classroom-based science assessments that integrate three dimensions of science proficiency—disciplinary core ideas,…
Publication | This paper outlines the development of a mobile application executing on a tablet device, which renders an immersive AR-based graphical user interface to enable users to monitor, interact with, and control a four link underactuated planar robot…
Publication | In this study, we explore four, second graders’ performances on integer addition problems before and after analyzing contrasting cases involving integers.
Publication | This paper outlines some key considerations for developing productive teacher collaborations and provides examples of teacher PD programs that have successfully brought chemistry education research faculty and high school chemistry teachers…
Publication | How can research-based findings and advances help society to re-envision STEM learning and education? This report captures key takeaways, strategies, and challenges identified during the November 2015 workshop, including: research-based advances…
Publication | This case study contributes to efforts to characterize teaching that is responsive to children’s mathematical thinking.
Tool | CLP contains seven tools for use in creating visual representations, as shown in examples. More details about using each tool follow these examples.
Publication | The logic underlying inclusive STEM high schools (ISHSs) posits that requiring all students to take advanced college preparatory STEM courses while providing student-centered, reform-oriented instruction, ample student supports, and real-world…
Publication | In this study, we explore whether instruction on mapping directed magnitudes to operations helps 88 second graders and 70 fourth graders solve addition and subtraction problems with negative numbers.
Presentation | Variations of this slide deck were used in 3 different presentations this summer about the Teachers with Guts project.
Publication | A Landscape Analysis of K–12 Engineering Education in the Greater Boston Region
Publication | This study tests that logic model by comparing the high school experiences and achievement of students in ISHSs and comparison schools in North Carolina.
Publication | This appendix of the California Science Framework focuses on Computer Science in Science.
