diagrams.2. MethodologyWe chose to use a grounded theory approach for our qualitative study, deciding to use constantcomparative analysis of open coding for three reasons. First, there is a lack of literatureconcerning how students conceptualize and operationalize mechanical equilibrium in staticsproblems. While there has been some literature on student knowledge using the ConceptualAssessment Tool for Statics (CATS), CATS does not address knowledge expressed throughsketching. From prior work, we hypothesize that modality of testing (multiple-choice selectionvs. self-generated sketching) should also change what knowledge students choose to use. Thisdistinction is useful for instructors looking to develop curriculum innovations since the shearforce

Faculty werepurposively linked across the three campuses in their same disciplines to share development andreview of active learning materials and to engage in discipline-specific intellectual discussion ofcurriculum and best models of instruction. In the first year, core faculty in Calculus I and PhysicsI were developing materials (although some were already actively engaged in flipping prior tothe grant), and then began the implementation. An innovative part of this grant program is the Faculty Learning Communities (as well asthe Faculty Learning Community Coordinators
many in the field are yet to be convinced of the value ofreflection methodologies in the first place. To that end, more research on the academic impact ofreflection – such as the suggestion by Turns et al. [20] mentioned above – will also be essentialto the widespread acceptance of this methodology. This need can also be inferred from the astuteobservation made by Mann et al. [12] that “the evidence to support and inform these curricularinterventions and innovations remains largely theoretical and it is unclear which approaches mayhave efficacy or impact (Andrews 2005).”The present paper seeks to offer an initial framework for obtaining data on the impact of criticalreflection strategies. It describes the history, design, implementation, and
to as the Atkins Report (Atkins et al., 2003) onCyberinfrastructure (CI), launched an NSF funded program towards the integration ofInformation technology (IT)-enabled systems, tools, and services to create a nationalcyberinfrastructure directorate. The premise was that integration of the multitude of tools andservices into a national cyberinfrastructure directorate would enable access to multidisciplinaryinformation for many individuals and groups that had previously been marginalized and therebyrevolutionize the way science is done. Specifically, the goals were to harness the full power ofcyberinfrastructure for discovery, learning, and innovation across and within all areas of scienceand engineering in the preparation of a workforce with
