实践社区:非正式物理课程中理解身份发展的框架

Community of Practice: A framework for understanding identity development within informal physics programs

Claudia Fracchiolla, Brean Prefontaine, Kathleen Hinko

摘要:

对物理学身份的研究表明,它是可以预测一个人在该领域的持久性的主要因素之一;因此,研究物理学身份对于增加物理学领域内的多样性以及了解哪些变化可以让更多的女性和少数民族认同该领域至关重要。在这项研究中,我们调查非正式的物理程序作为物理身份探索的空间。这些计划提供了独特的条件下,研究物理身份的发展以及其他身份。非正式的物理空间允许自愿参与,以及在物理探索中的代理和自治元素。因此,这些空间允许一个身份的形成传统上在学术环境中发现的限制之外。在这项工作中,我们操作的实践社区(CoP)框架,以研究促进非正式物理课程的大学生的物理身份的发展。我们提出了两个物理研究生的故事,我们的样本提供了一个测试扩展框架的可行性,并确定如何在一个非正式的物理程序的经验可以塑造物理身份的发展。本文介绍了实践社区框架内的可操作的结构,这些结构是如何应用到我们的参与者的叙述经验,并强调我们如何使用这个框架来理解物理身份发展的细微差别,以及可以影响发展的因素。

英文摘要:

Studies on physics identity have shown that it is one of the main factors that can predict a person's persistence in the field; therefore, studying physics identity is critical to increase diversity within the field of physics and to understand what changes can allow more women and minorities to identify with the field. In this study, we investigate informal physics programs as spaces for physics identity exploration. These programs provide unique conditions under which to study physics identity development along with other identities. Informal physics spaces allow for voluntary engagement, as well as elements of agency and autonomy within the exploration of physics. Thus these spaces allow an identity to form outside of the constraints traditionally found in academic settings. In this work, we operationalized the Community of Practice (CoP) framework to study the development of physics identities within university students who facilitate informal physics programs. We present the stories from two physics graduate students out of our sample to provide a context for testing the feasibility of the extended framework and to identify how experiences within an informal physics program can shape physics identity development. This paper presents the operationalized constructs within the Community of Practice framework, how these constructs are applied to the narrated experiences of our participants, and highlights how we can use this framework to understand the nuances of physics identity development as well as the factors that can influence that development.
