From CREATE workshop to course implementation: Examining downstream impacts on teaching practices and student learning at 4-year institutions

We provide the full data set for the research study informing the efficacy of the CREATE strategy for positively influencing faculty and students in science courses at ten institutions (4-year). CREATE (consider, read, elucidate hypotheses, analyze, and intrepret data; think of the next experiment) represents a scaffolded approach for teaching students using the primary literature as the foundation of course instruction. In this project, faculty from different institutions were trained in this pedagogy through a week-long workshop and then followed as they adapted CREATE for a science course at their home institutions. We used a variety of assessments (cognitive, affective) to determine the effects of implementation on student cohorts at each institution. These assessments included the Experimental Design and Ability Test (EDAT), the Critical Thinking Test (CTT, an adaption of the Field-Tested Learning Assessment Guide), a concept-map test, and an adaption of the Survey of Student Attitudes, Abilities, and Beliefs (SAAB) survey.

Using Formative Assessment and Feedback from Student Response Systems (SRS) to Equitably Revise Statistics Instruction

Instructors are increasingly using interactive student response systems (SRS) to foster active learning and deepen student understanding in statistics education. Yet most studies focus on either the benefits of SRS or on how students can receive and use feedback, rather than on how instructors can use formative assessment data to inform instructional revisions in the pursuit of reaching more learners and creating a more equitable and inclusive classroom. This dataset is being publicly shared to accompany a manuscript submission that draws from a case study of an introductory statistics course to present a framework for how an instructor can engage in what I call a reciprocal formative assessment and feedback cycle using SRS. This cycle includes adopting a structured approach of reflecting on student misconceptions through guided questions like who to reteach, what to reteach, when to reteach, and how to reteach course content – all with the goal of increasing learning for all students.

Epistemic Insight Initiative Data set: Findings from a hands-on science intervention to build school students' agency and epistemic insight into the power and limitations of science.

Data set that reports on the Findings from a hands-on science intervention to build school students’ agency and epistemic insight into the power and limitations of science. We report on an empirical study that sought to address three questions: <ul> <li>A study to extend the cognitive science of insight into the field of children’s developing understanding of the power and limitations of science</li> <li>A study to examine the effectiveness of the Epistemic Insight (EI) strategy which is designed to give each child hands-on, minds-on science</li> <li>A study to examine the effectiveness of the EI strategy to sustain science activity in schools during the challenging conditions of the pandemic</li> </ul> 1919 children and 63 teachers from 24 schools in England took part in the project.  This includes both primary and secondary schools.  The data reported here are taken from ten primary schools representing 1045 children aged 8-12 in years 4 to 7.

Data for: Gender medicine teaching increases medical students' gender awareness: results of a quantitative online survey

Background Gender medical knowledge is insufficiently integrated into university teaching in Germany. Gender awareness represents a key competence to integrate this knowledge into one's medical practice. This study is the first survey of the gender awareness of medical students in Germany. Methods From April to July 2021, a quantitative cross-sectional survey in an online format using the 'Nijmegen Gender Awareness in Medicine Scale' (2008) was conducted at four German universities (Charité Berlin, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, and the University of Cologne) with a varied implementation of teaching gender medicine. Students indicated their agreement or disagreement with assumptions and knowledge about the influence of gender in everyday medical practice (gender sensitivity), as well as gender role stereotypes towards patients and physicians (gender role ideology). Results The 750 included participants showed a relatively high gender sensitivity and low gender role stereotyping towards patients and doctors. The curricular implementation of gender medicine of the universities showed to have a significant influence on the students' gender sensitivity, as well as on their gender role stereotyping towards patients. Students who reported having taken classes in gender medicine showed significantly higher level of gender sensitivity. Cis-males showed significantly lower gender sensitivity and significantly higher gender role stereotyping. Conclusion Implementation of gender medicine in the medical curriculum, attending courses on gender education and one's gender have a significant impact on medical students' gender competencies. These results support the need for structural integration of gender in medical education and gender trainings at medical schools in Germany.

Individual and collective school-students' self-efficacy on climate change. Raw data set.

The dataset comprises 12 items on the topic of "self-efficacy on climate change" and additionally some items on person-related information. The items were developed with individual self-efficacy (8 items, iSE1 to iSE8) and collective self-efficacy (4 items, coSE1 to coSE4) in mind. The instruction was: "How do you think about yourself? Please tick to what extent the following statements apply to you" [translated from German]. A six-point Likert-type scale was used as response scale, headed with numbers from 1 to 6, only the ends of the response scale were verbally labelled (1 = "strongly disagree" to 6 = "strongly agree" [translated from German]). The items were used in German. The English translations were added to the dataset in square brackets. Data collection took place at German "Gymnasien" (equivalent to grammar schools) in 2022. The data set includes N = 163 school-students.

Enhancing algebraic equation solving in upper elementary and middle school students using an algebra balance model

This study investigates the effectiveness of Level I, the first seven lessons, of the Hands-On Equations balance model in improving the equation-solving skills of upper elementary and middle school students. Fourth-grade (n = 123) and eighth-grade (n = 105) students from eleven classes in the United States participated in this study. A pretest-to-posttest design was used to evaluate the performance of the students on six algebraic equations, including three equations with the unknown on both sides of the equal sign. The students were provided with a six-question pretest prior to classroom instruction on the system, a posttest following Lesson 6 using the manipulatives, and a posttest following Lesson 7 without the manipulatives. Students were allowed 15 minutes for each of the tests. Each question answered correctly was given 1 point, regardless of the difficulty level of the question. Although the question paper had a field to enter the check for each problem, only the value for x was used to determine if the problem was answered correctly. The study sought to measure the effect of the program on the 4th grade, 8th grade rural, and 8th grade suburban groups. It also sought to compare the 4th grade results to an 8th grade benchmark. The data set includes the testing instrument, the pre- and post-testing data for each class, as well as an item analysis for the three groups.

Establishing a new standard of care for calculus using trials with randomized student allocation

Calculus, the study of change in processes and systems, serves as the foundation of many STEM disciplines. Traditional, lecture-based calculus instruction presents a persistent barrier for students seeking STEM degrees, limits access to STEM professions, and blocks their potential to address society's challenges. A large-scale pragmatic trial with randomized student allocation was conducted to compare two calculus instruction styles: active student engagement (treatment condition) versus traditional, lecture-based instruction (control condition). A sample of 811 U.S. university students was studied across 32 sections taught by 19 instructors over three semesters at a large U.S. Hispanic-Serving Institution. Large effect sizes were consistently measured for student learning outcomes in the treatment condition, which demonstrated a new standard for calculus instruction and increased opportunities for completion of STEM degrees.
