Contextualizing Elementary Algebra across disciplines Jonathan Cornick & Karan Puri Queensborough Community College Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Origins & Philosophy  Previous work with Elementary Algebra  Faculty Inquiry Groups  Mathematical proficiency in STEM credit courses  Skill transfer in general education courses Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Fundamentals of Chemistry  Wrote OER textbook with Tirandai Hemraj-Benny (QCC)  Based on guided problem solving philosophy  Student-centered  Idea was to bring success with My Math GPS into the chemistry classroom Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Chemistry-related topics 1. Significant figures 2. Scientific Notation 3. Percentages 4. Unit conversion in various guises. Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Chemistry Assessment  Departmental standardized assessment questions  Persistence  Performance Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Chemistry Feedback  Full control on material  Gained from mathematics perspective (expectation change)  Struggle to break away from traditional methods  Students don’t make Math  Chem connections  Calculator Skills lacking Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Introduction to Sociology  C3IRG: Amy Traver (QCC) & Stuart Parker (KCC)  3 Modules: PreHW, In-Class, PostHW. CEAFE aligned 1. Deviance: Marijuana use – Percentage/Proportion 2. Inequality: State Test outcomes/Poverty/Race – Linear graph (correlation) 3. Tipping Point: Changing demographics – linear inequalities Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Sociology: Assessment  8 sections – 4 intervention/4 control  Pre/ Post test CEAFE like & Attitudes survey  Student research – QR in Teaching sociology  Impact remedial and credit math? Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Sociology: Feedback so far  Instructor rusty math skills, QR fellow helpful  “bigger picture”, “diverse groups”, “relevant”  “continue to struggle”, “weak conceptual” Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Positives  Understanding of other disciplines’ needs  Other instructors cited gains from mathematicians’ perspectives on instruction  Students see value of math skills (sociology) Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

What have we learned about alignment?  Limited with other STEM requirements.  Lack of context. Students see it as separate topic.  Most useful content (proportions and percentages) now been deleted  Calculators needed for applications Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.

Moving forward  STEM pathway confused  Clear learning objectives  Use backwards design process  Non-STEM… Cornick & Puri, Queensborough Community College Innovative Practices in Developmental Education, La Guardia Community College, April 15th 2016.
