| Proposal Title: | Using a Student-centered, Equitable Instructional Framework to Improve Instruction |
|---|---|
| Abstract Type: | Poster |
| Abstract: | As physics instructors, we often struggle to determine our own instructional strengths and weakness (i.e., outside of the physics content). Frameworks that clearly define research-based pedagogies in undergraduate STEM offer a means to evaluate our teaching and identify the next steps to develop a deeper understanding of effective instructional strategies and how to use them to benefit student learning and belongingness. This presentation introduces an instructional framework that STEM instructors can use to make our classrooms more equitable and student-centered. We will share tools and processes that helped individual faculty and faculty teams use self-reflection and student survey data to identify instructional strengths and areas for improvement in line with the strategies from the instructional framework. Lastly, we will share specific resources that helped faculty better understand what the framework indicators look like in practice and how to enact the strategies to make their STEM classrooms more equitable and student-centered. |
