 | A Special DBER Seminar: Student Flow through STEM Education in Texas
3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
CU Teach & Integrating STEM Education will be hosting Dr. Michael Marder, Professor of Physics and Director of UTeach at the Univ. of Texas at Austin. He will be giving a special DBER Seminar on "Student Flows through STEM Education in Texas" on Tuesday, Nov. 17th, 3:30pm in Porter Bioscience B121.
Dr. Marder will discuss the use of methods borrowed from statistical mechanics to analyze student test scores on the high-stakes Texas mathematics tests. These methods are used to investigate the assertion, influencing Federal funding policies, that once one knows students' test scores in one year, all other information about them can and should be discarded when trying to predict how much they will learn the next. These studies reveal how students flow through the space of score and time, that both convective and diffusive effects are at work, and that poverty has a very significant effect on the flow pattern.
