Know about our research

Research studies in this project have findings related to

i) expert/novice characterization of the disciplinary practices,

ii) effect of the TELeaD systems on learners’ development of disciplinary practices,

iii) local learning theories emerging from learners’ interaction with the TELeaD systems.

Some of the specific findings from our research in various disciplinary practices are compiled below:

• Experts utilize a model based reasoning approach while solving ill-structured estimation problems (Kothiyal, A. & Murthy, S. (2020))

• Learners’ develop self-efficacy to engage in the disciplinary practices after interacting with the TELeaD systems (Madhuri, Anurag citation)

• Learners imbibe the practices of the discipline. Some of the disciplinary practices developed for undergraduate engineering and science learners are presented below:

  • Structuring open problem in the context of electronic circuit design (Madhuri citation)

  • Observe-Predict-Test-Revise practices in the context of physics and electronics laboratory (Anura citation)

  • Problem solving skills in the context of genetics (Anurag citation)

• Learners exhibit a disciplinary shift in their practices as well as understanding of concepts (Lakshmi & Prajish ?)
