Query: Case Study: Context Interactions & Physics Faculty's Professional
  Development   This paper investigates the interactions between context and professional
development of physics instructors in a case study of two physics faculty. A
phenomenological-case study approach was used to analyze two physics faculty at
different institutions over a year and a half using three semi-structured
interviews each. The data enabled the identification of relevant context
elements; and the impact of these elements on physics faculty's professional
development was explored by adapting Bell and Gilbert's framework for teacher
development. The analysis shows that both case study subjects used their
physics expertise and growing understanding of their context to develop their
physics teaching. However, this process of development was enacted differently
given the nature of their context, highlighting instructors' strengths in
navigating their local context to improve their physics teaching. The results
show the subtleties of how context has a salient, complex, and evolving role in
moderating faculty's professional development. By taking a faculty-centric
approach, this paper broadens the community's awareness of the ways physics
instructors develop their physics teaching. This work contributes to a
relatively new lens by which the physics community views, discusses, and
supports the professional development of physics faculty.
