There is often a disconnect between the unit of analysis inrigorous education research, and the types of recommendations that instructors find the most useful to improve their teaching. Research often focuses onnarrow slices of the student experience, and university instructors often require broad recommendations. We present the Fearless Teaching Framework to address this gap between research and practice. In this framework, we define four pieces ofeffective teaching: classroom climate, course content, teaching practices, andassessment strategies. We argue that these are appropriate areas of focus forinstructor growth, based on their relations to student engagement.
Figure 1. In this paper, we present a four-day deployment study of LPSV tools in a formal classroom environment where (a) children brainstorm questions, test hypotheses with a model-based tool called (b) BodyVis and with an analytic-based tool called (c) SharedPhys, and (d) present their experiment results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
