Looking Beyond Content: Skill Development for Engineers (2008, methodology): “But if the conclusions the students draw are seen as generated on the spot from combining knowledge that is easy to hand and naturally associated, the instructional response can be dramatically different and more effective (Elby, 2001).”
Lessons from the Physics Education Reform Effort (2001, background): “Elby [49] has recently conducted classes designed to help students develop more sophisticated beliefs about knowledge and learning as measured by MPEX.”
Tapping Epistemological Resources for Learning Physics (2003, background): “Although research on learning has informed our teaching (Elby, 2001; Hammer, 1997), the influence has gone in the other direction just as strongly.”
Implications of Complexity for Research on Learning Progressions (2015, neutral): “…colleagues study learners’ reasoning in situ, in elementary and middle school (e.g. Rosenberg, Hammer, & Phelan, 2006; Sikorski, 2012), high school (Elby, 2001; Hammer, 1997), college (Frank & Scherr, 2012; Watkins & Elby, 2013), and teacher development (Hutchison & Hammer, 2010; Watkins, Coffey,…”
Discipline-Based Education Research: Understanding and Improving Learning in Undergraduate Science and Engineering. (2012, background): “• Epistemological Beliefs Assessment for Physical Sciences (Elby, 2001), which assesses students’ views about the nature of knowledge and learning in physics.”
The Role of Teacher Epistemic Cognition, Epistemic Beliefs, and Calibration in Instruction (2008, background): “Examples of pedagogical practices enacted by experts (both in education and in the subject matter taught) can be found in a few studies nested in the sciences and in history (Bain 2000; Elby 2001; Hammer 1995; Lampert 1990; VanSledright 2002; Osborne 1998).”
Synthesis of Discipline-Based Education Research in Physics. (2014, methodology): “Research also exists on instructional strategies designed to explicitly promote productive attitudes and beliefs [224,505].”
Language of Physics, Language of Math: Disciplinary Culture and Dynamic Epistemology (2014, background): “Gupta and Elby (2011) reported on an extremely interesting interview with a student in an introductory physics class for engineers that illustrates the dynamic response of a student trying to make sense of mathematics in a physics class and displays the interaction of conceptual, epistemological, an”
Epistemological resources and framing: a cognitive framework for helping teachers interpret and respond to their students' epistemologies (2010, background): “For example, having students reflect upon their learning during the learning process, and not just at the end, can help them monitor their framing of the activity (Elby, 2001).”
Resource Letter ALIP-1: Active-Learning Instruction in Physics (2012, neutral): “86).”
Fundamentals of Biomechanics (2003, background): “It is obvious from research in physics instruction that solving quantitative word problems does not increase the conceptual understanding of important mechanical laws (Elby, 2001; Lawson & McDermott, 1987; Kim & Pak, 2002).”
