They argue, “the relationship between scientific and everyday practices is more complicated and less obvious than is claimed” and prompt reflection on generative ways to relate …
The RELiC lab is excited to announce Lily Apte and Lexi Mann have joined the group!
Congrats to Nicole and Niall on their insightful look into what was emphasized and rewarded on general chemistry exams given throughout the US!
After a great defense, Nicole now goes by Dr. Greco :). Congrats, Nicole!
Niall did a predictably awesome job on his Thesis Background Exam (TBE). Congrats, Niall!
Ryan joined an international team of colleagues to think about common myths related to teaching and learning in organic chemistry. The article is worth a read!
Ryan’s perspective on how we might advance chemistry learning useful beyond school was just published in JCE. Check it out!
Congrats to Nicole, Rosemary, and Ryan on their paper unpacking how they worked to design and carry out a theoretically coherent study of instructors’ epistemologies.
Congrats to Ryan and Rosemary on receiving a grant from the NSF to study epistemological messaging in college science courses!
Our work on student experiences with assessment-related epistemological messages was just published in Science Education. Congrats, Cara, Kimberly, Nicole, and Rosemary!
