Affect, meta-affect, and epistemology in an introductory physics lab
Radoff and colleagues studied a student's progress in sensemaking to argue it involved meta-affect, or feelings about feelings. In particular, from the start of the semester to the end, the student went from feeling anxious about feeling confused to finding pleasure in it. The authors described this change as meta-affective learning and as entangled with the student's epistemology, in particular her coming to see confusion as inherent in doing physics. Here, we study an episode of uncertainty among three students in a physics lab that shows rich, in-the-moment dynamics of meta-affect and epistemology. We focus on "Abby," who expressed discomfort ("I hate physics") but at the same time showed signs of enjoyment, laughing and persisting in sensemaking. Radoff and colleagues presented evidence before and after a change; we present this episode for insight into how such change may occur.
