Direct linkHeckler, Andrew F.; Bogdan, Abigail M. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
A critical component of scientific reasoning is the consideration of alternative explanations. Recognizing that decades of cognitive psychology research have demonstrated that relative cognitive accessibility, or "what comes to mind," strongly affects how people reason in a given context, we articulate a simple "cognitive…

Drummond, Gordon B.; Vowler, Sarah L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2012
In this article, the authors consider the possibility that groups could be different, because of the different conditions of a factor. This is as far as the analysis can extend: the consideration is restricted to groups characterized by the different category of the factor being considered. In many biological experiments, the factor considered may…

Smith, Tori Rhoulac; McGowan, Jill; Allen, Andrea R.; Johnson, Wayne David, II; Dickson, Leon A., Jr.; Najee-ullah, Muslimah Ali; Peters, Monique – Journal of Negro Education, 2008
The faculty learning community project at Howard University involved a diverse group of men and women, tenured, tenure-track, and future faculty across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The purpose of the group was to engage in the scholarship of teaching and learning by learning about teaching, reflecting on…
