Pedagogical Moves Related To Analogy That Support A Unified Understanding Of Eigentheory Concepts In A Quantum Mechanics Class, Kaitlyn Stephens Serbin, Megan Wawro Oct 2024

Pedagogical Moves Related To Analogy That Support A Unified Understanding Of Eigentheory Concepts In A Quantum Mechanics Class, Kaitlyn Stephens Serbin, Megan Wawro

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

It is beneficial for quantum mechanics students to have a unified understanding of eigentheory concepts, so they can recognize the shared structure of mathematized phenomena from the different quantum mechanical systems of spin, energy, or position and recognize those as instantiations of the same overarching concept. Quantum mechanics instructors should, therefore, provide opportunities for their class community to develop a shared unified understanding of eigentheory concepts. One such opportunity can arise by engaging students in analogizing eigentheory concepts in one context with those from another context. We investigate the pedagogical moves related to analogies that can be used by a …

Barriers And Facilitators To Culturally Appropriate Cancer Health Education For Kenyan Immigrants In Washington State, Rael Kobe Odengo

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Co-Creating A Culture Circle: A Horizontal Mentoring Model For New Teachers’ Spiritual Formation, Brita E. Beitler

International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal

Teacher retention rates persist as a major area of concern in American schools, compounded by issues like the lack of diversity in teaching and the struggle to recruit and retain a diverse workforce of teachers. Traditional models of mentoring have some success in teacher retention; however, mentoring is not equitably employed across schools. Additionally, it often follows an expert-to-novice framework, failing to consider the unique cultural and spiritual knowledges that inform a teacher’s professional decisions. To address the gap in the research, this qualitative study narrates the ways three beginning teachers engaged in a Freirean culture circle model of mentoring, …

Heal, Not Harm: Embracing A Trauma-Informed Approach As An Act Of Transformative Care, Carrie R. Giboney Wall

Although well-meaning and perhaps temporarily effective, these transactional barter systems can do more harm than good, especially for students who are trauma-impacted. By disrupting these practices that can re-traumatize students and embracing trauma-informed practices, teachers can extend transformative care to students and promote healing. The purpose of this qualitative investigation was to explore the manifestations of trauma on student classroom behavior and learning at a Title I public elementary school as well as multipronged elements …
