Mapping intent and impact of activity design in a computationally integrated physics course
written by Sarah McHale, Tor Ole B. Odden, and Kenneth Heller
In this paper, we demonstrate the suitability of conjecture mapping for specifying misalignments between intent and impact of activity design. We situate our methodological inquiry in the context of a multi-day activity within a computationally integrated physics course, informed by data from interviews and ethnographic observations. Specifically, we consider affect through the theoretical frameworks of physics computational literacy and physics identity. We find that centering separate analyses on student and professor perspectives produces distinct conjecture maps that highlight misalignments in two different uses of mediating processes, which provides insight into the paths towards unintended affective outcomes.
