SUMMARY:Implementing Structured Inquiry Labs and Researching Equity of
  Group Dynamics at UT Austin\, Physics Education Innovation Forum\, An
 drew Loveridge\, The University of Texas at Austin
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting ID: 302 365 8376<br>
\n<br>
\nResearch on int
 roductory physics lab courses shows that traditional “cookbook-style
  verification” labs often fail to achieve their intended learning ou
 tcomes. To address this\, various alternative approaches have been dev
 eloped. In this talk\, I’ll discuss how we implemented the Structure
 d Quantitative Inquiry (SQI) framework at UT Austin in the context of 
 lab courses which serve a large and diverse student population. I will
  highlight both successes and areas needing improvement. I’ll also s
 hare our ongoing research on how best to scaffold equitable group dyna
 mics in inquiry-based and active learning environments. This is partic
 ularly relevant for UT’s lab courses\, since prior work suggests tha
 t while the SQI framework is more effective than traditional labs for 
 student’s overall learning\, it can inadvertently open the door to n
 ew inequities absent proactive efforts by instructors to anticipate an
 d remediate them.<br>

\n<br>
\n    Andrew Loveridge received his PhD f
 rom the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2018. While at UW\, in addi
 tion to his dissertation on aspects of Gauge/Gravity Duality\, he was 
 involved in a variety of efforts to redesign high enrollment courses t
 o incorporate active learning (the REACH program). Now he is an Assist
 ant Professor of Instruction at the University of Texas at Austin\, wh
 ere he has led a major redesign of the introductory lab courses to inc
 orporate evidence based teaching practices and is actively involved in
  Physics Education Research.<br>
