out those online surveys at the start
of every course?

PERWe want to study the LEARNING of science… in a scientific wayDevelop curricula and test themCollect data - conceptual surveys (pre/post is best)
beliefs about science and learning ( “” )
Develop theoretical frameworks…

• Research based• Experts (especially skeptics!) =>
necessary (not sufficient) indicator of understanding.

Attitudes and Beliefs
Assessing the “hidden curriculum”
Ex: ““I study physics to learn knowledge I study physics to learn knowledge that will be useful in life.”that will be useful in life.”““TTo learn physics, I only need to memorize solutions to sample problems”

Theory ingredients - to think about
• Construction of knowledge• Resources• Cognitive psych: “in the individual” head
• Context (setting, norms and practices)
• Learning is social (and political!)
