Thacker, Beth; Dulli, Hani; Pattillo, Dave; West, Keith – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
We report conceptual inventory results of a large-scale assessment project at a large university. We studied the introduction of materials and instructional methods informed by physics education research (PER) (physics education research-informed materials) into a department where most instruction has previously been traditional and a significant…

Jackson, Julie K.; Ash, Gwynne – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2012
This article addresses the serious and growing need to improve science instruction and science achievement for all students. We will describe the results of a 3-year study that transformed science instruction and student achievement at two high-poverty ethnically diverse public elementary schools in Texas. The school-wide intervention included…
