DIVERSIFYING DISCUSSIONS: HOW DO WE FACILITATE TALKING ABOUT FRESHWATER SCIENCE IN OUR CLASSES?

Active learning strategies increase student-instructor and student-student interactions, creating opportunities for rich classroom discussions. Most observational protocols used in undergraduate STEM classrooms focus on classroom behaviors, but they are not designed to measure the ways in which instructors initiate classroom discussions [the teacher discourse moves (TDMs)]. Specifically, TDMs are conservational strategies used by instructors to improve student understanding of content. I will describe the development and validation of a new instrument, called the Classroom Discourse Observation Protocol (CDOP), which characterizes and quantifies TDMs from observational data in undergraduate STEM classrooms. The CDOP coding scheme has been used to reliably characterize the TDMs that occur in 2-min time intervals over the course of a class period. Preliminary results suggest that this protocol is able to distinguish differences in TDMs, even in classrooms with equivalent active engagement instruction. We will discuss how CDOP can facilitate diverse discussions with your students about freshwater science content, and as a result, enhance their freshwater science learning.
