That's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who came to @ChapmanU for our conference on advancing research on quantitative reasoning in STEM ed! We had nearly 100 attendees from 46 institutions and 26 states, and an engaging and intellectually stimulating two days of conversations!

Next, our lab is attending the @sabercommunity SABER West conference. Our group is giving 3 oral talks and 6 posters. Check out the lineup below, which includes many undergraduate students presenting their research! 2/2

What an exciting week for the Chapman Biology Education Research Group! First, we're hosting a conference on advancing research on quantitative reasoning in STEM ed. We have 5 keynotes, 30 talks, and 10 posters, w/nearly 100 attendees from 46 institutions across 26 states! 1/2

A reminder about the upcoming abstract deadline (extended to 11/1) for our conference on advancing research on quantitative reasoning (QR) in STEM education in January! We welcome research & innovations in teaching/assessing QR. Works in progress welcome! sites.chapman.edu/qrstemeducatio…

Call for Papers: Teaching Integrative & Organismal Biology! Integrative and Organismal Biology is excited to announce a collaboration b/w @SICB_ & @SABERcommunity. Manuscripts submitted by 2/28 will form the core of the collection. More info here: academic.oup.com/iob/pages/tran…

We are hiring for a postdoc in STEM education research to join us at Chapman University! The postdoc will join a team researching STEM course office hours and ways to improve office hours. Please RT - more info here! saberbio.mcjobboard.net/jobs/197483

Check out our new paper on first-year students’ expectations of STEM course office hours!

📚 Bottom line: Office hours have powerful potential—and we can play a major role in helping students understand them and feel welcome to attend. Read the full work below. Please RT and share this work! @ChapmanU #ChapmanSciences stemeducationjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.11… 7/7

2️⃣Invite students early and often! Frequent reminders made students feel more comfortable and likely to attend. 3️⃣Lower fear of negative evaluation by encouraging all questions, telling students to come listen to questions, and inviting students to attend w/friends. 6/7

What do first-year students think about STEM course office hours? How do these perceptions change over time? So excited to share a new paper in the International Journal of STEM Education where we conducted a longitudinal study to find out! 1/7 stemeducationjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…

Abstract submission for joint NABT @NABT_News & @SABERcommunity SABER Midwest Biology Education Poster Session (in St. Louis, 11/1) extended to 8/15! Any work on bio teaching & learning welcome; includes student competitions for bio ed research & more! nabt.org/Call-for-Poste…

Check out our paper! We conducted interviews w/ STEM undergrads to explore what motivates some students to go to office hours and why others don’t, and investigate what shapes office hour experiences. We include recommendations for instructors based on our work. Please share/ RT!

We are hosting an interdisciplinary conference on advancing research on quantitative reasoning in STEM ed at Chapman in January! Registration & abstract submission now open! Conference is adjacent to @SABERcommunity SABER West. More info: sites.chapman.edu/qrstemeducatio… See you there!

In paper2️⃣, @CarlosGoller, several fantastic Twitter-less colleagues, and I examine the influence of Vision & Change and the Promoting Active Learning and Mentoring (PALM) Network on participants' teaching philosophies and strategies. Check it out! 5/5 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jm…

We come up with multiple implications for instructors based on our work - check it out below or in table 3 of our paper! 4/5

We also identify that how peers & instructors communicate about OH (both in class & in syllabi) influences students' perceptions of OH. We also apply the theory of racialized opportunity cost, finding that student and instructor identities can shape students' experiences. 3/5

experiences in OH. We apply expectancy value theory, finding that multiple factors shape students' expectancies, values, and costs for attending OH. For instance, many students cite how their high schools offered OH, shaping their perception of college OH (often incorrectly). 2/5

2️⃣new papers to share! First is a paper in @CBELifescied led by former undergrad Gabby Dauber '24, examining student motivations and experiences in STEM course office hours (OH). She conducted interviews with students about their knowledge of and... 1/5 lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb…
