I-RISE Congress - Lowering at a constant speed

Thank you again for such a great experience! I am sharing the slides of the congress presentation.

I am the first I-RISE Scholar coming from México. I show you where I am exactly from.

During High School, in a aptitudinal test they told me I had good aptitudes to go for a exact science carreer or for humanities. In my mind that didn't make sense, how can you mix them both? I decided to study a B.Sc. in Physics Engineering. A couple years after, I discovered there was a PER group in my University and decided to join them. It was in that moment that I realized that there was a way to mix both of my strengths, since then I decided PER is was I would do.

Basically, I started doing my fists steps in PER as an undergrad. Then I decided to go for a Ph.D. in PER, continuing working with Genaro Zavala, now as my adviser. Two summers ago Rachel went to my university for a summer workshop about video analysis. In that moment I decided that was what I wanted to do. I arrived to Seattle on April for a six month research visit to develop my qualitative research skills (my PER group do not use video analysis that much).

Due to time limitations, I could not analyze both days as I planned originally. I wanted to see what were the differences that made one day more productive than the other. Instead I decided to study in detail the second day (more productive than the first). As a clarification, E1 has already worked in ET in previous days, but not during afternoon. So it was the first time I observed them doing ET alive, but not their first time doing ET.

I share the video here, but for more detail please check the post: Forces vs Energy... (Afternoon ET 08-09 saga - part 2)

I share the video here, but for more detail please check the post: Using ET as a reconciliation tool... (Afternoon ET 08-09 saga - part 3)

**Warning: there is also some noise in this one**

As conclusion, thank you for helping me developing my qualitative research skills. I really appreciate having a space where people get engage in this kind of discussions and gives you productive feedback to improve your opportunity areas.I am really wishing I have the opportunity to keep working with this two ET, because I felt I needed more time to finish the analysis.
