Supporting Physics
Learning and Identity beyond the Classroom |

ABSTRACT The
transformation from, novice to physicist is a complex
process that is guided by experiences both in and outside the
classroom. Physics outreach programs can provide a critical
informal context for experiences that promote this transition. In
recent years this interaction has begun to be explored and prior
studies have exhibited a positive link between the development of
a student’s physics identity and their facilitation of informal
physics outreach programs. Here, I will present results from a
student-focused investigation on the effects of informal physics
programs on dimensions including physics identity, sense of
belonging, and the development of 21st century career skills.
Findings will be discussed based on surveys (117) and interviews
(35) conducted with students from a large, public university. In
the second part of this talk, I will also describe the structure
and study of a university-based professional development program
for out-of-field in-service high school physics teachers. |
