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.bsky.social SABER West. More info: sites.chapman.edu/qrstemeducat... See you there!

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

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 highlight how their high schools offered OH, shaping their perception of college OH (often incorrectly). 2/5

Thank you to everyone at @sabercommunity.bsky.social SABER East 2025 for a fantastic conference and some great conversations and ideas! A huge shout out to @dinanewman.bsky.social and the rest of the SABER East planning team for all of your hard work!

Delighted to share that I've been awarded tenure and promoted to associate professor of biology, effective in the fall! I've been so fortunate to work with an amazing group of faculty, staff, and students. Thank you to everyone who has made this such an incredible journey!

some students are noticing more perceptual features, often focusing on less relevant trends and features, with others noticing deeper, more relevant patterns that facilitate conceptual sensemaking. In addition, we find multiple factors, including students’ expectations and their attitude... 2/n

So very excited for @sabercommunity.bsky.social SABER West this weekend! It will be a busy weekend for the Chapman Bio Ed Research group - check out the lineup of presentations, with lots of great work by students and collaborators! #SABERWest2025 @dforsythe.bsky.social @lisalimeri.bsky.social

The Chapman University Biology Education Research Group had multiple students present at the National Association of Biology Teachers this weekend. They did great (proud mentor!) Special congratulations to Tammy '25 for winning first prize in the undergraduate biology education research competition!

Are you coming to Anaheim for NABT #NABT2025 next week? Check out the presentations from the Chapman University Biology Education Research Group! I am lucky to work with such a great team. Looking forward to great conversations and talks!

Excited to see SABER representation at #ESA2024! If you’re at ESA and interested in education and ed research, make sure to stop by booth 432!

Thank you #SABER2024 for another great conference, and thanks to UMN BTL for hosting a great panel with some fantastic colleagues!

Congrats to senior Gabby Dauber '24 on winning our @ChapmanU Kevin and Tam Ross Undergraduate Research Prize! Gabby joined our bio ed research lab a year or so ago and has done fantastic work exploring students' experiences in STEM course office hours! #proudmentor

Congrats to the three seniors in the Chapman Bio Ed Research Group - Briana '24, Noelle '24, and Gabby '24 - on your great presentations at today's Chapman University Schmid College Senior Research Symposium! So proud of all the great work you've done! #ChapmanSciences

Lab lunch today - so grateful to have an amazing team of people in the Chapman Bio Ed Research group!

Thank you to Beckie Supiano for the highlight of our recent paper examining student familiarity with active learning in today's Chronicle of Higher Education teaching newsletter! Here's the newsletter: www.chronicle.com/newsletter/t... and the paper itself: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

How do students solve problems in biology? Check out our new paper in CBE-Life Sciences Education! We analyze interviews w/students, finding distinct problem-solving approaches characterized by variation in knowledge, strategy, intention, metacognition, and mindset! www.lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/...

Have you wondered how the COVID pandemic has impacted students' familiarity with active learning, and how they think of different active learning (AL) techniques? Check out our new paper, just out in Active Learning in Higher Education! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Thank you SABER West community for an invigorating conference! Congrats too to everyone in the Chapman Bio Ed Research group on fantastic presentations - I’m lucky to work with such great people! We also took quite the lab photo below!

So excited for SABER West this weekend! Our Chapman University Bio Ed Research Group will be well-represented: we have 3 talks and 4 posters (including multiple presentations from undergrads)! I'm so lucky to work with such fantastic people - be sure to check out their amazing work!
