Daiyo Sawada,Michael D. Piburn,Eugene Judson,Jeff Turley,Kathleen Falconer,Russell Benford,Irene Bloom +6 more
TL;DR: The Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) as discussed by the authors was designed by the Evaluation Facilitation Group of the Arizona Collaborative for Excellence in the Preparation of Teachers (ACEPT).
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Scientific Reasoning in College Biology: Do Two Levels of General Hypothesis-Testing Skills Exist?.
Anton E. Lawson,Brian C. Clark,Erin Cramer-Meldrum,Kathleen Falconer,Jeffrey M. Sequist,Yong-Ju Kwon +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a hypothesis-testing skills test was developed and administered to a large sample of college students both at the start and at the end of a biology course in which several hypotheses at each level were generated and tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
What kinds of scientific concepts exist? Concept construction and intellectual development in college biology
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that concepts such as subduction and evolution with exemplars that cannot in practice be observed due to limits on the normal observational time frame were easier to answer than theoretical concepts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reforming Physics Instruction Via RTOP
Dan MacIsaac,Kathleen Falconer +1 more
TL;DR: The Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) as mentioned in this paper has been found to strongly correlate with student conceptual gains in introductory science and physics courses and is used to evaluate and critique physics teaching and to guide personal teaching improvement.
