Course on Active Learning
|
Janelle:
This the Discussion List for members of the Physics Teacher Education Coalition (PTEC).
Using Research-Based Curricula and Tools to Promote Active Learning in Introductory Courses Especially for high school and introductory college-level teachers of physics. Graduate credit available.* Instructors: Priscilla Laws, Dickinson College, David Sokoloff, University of Oregon, Ronald Thornton, Tufts University June 19-21, 2010 at Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA This hands-on course is designed for those interested in making learning in their introductory course more active either within the traditional course structure of lectures, labs, and recitation hours, or by re-structuring their course (e.g., into a workshop or studio course). Participants will be introduced to physics education research-based strategies for each component of the introductory course: Interactive Lecture Demonstration (ILDs), Web-Based ILDs, RealTime Physics labs, Activity Based Tutorials, Collaborative Problem-Solving Tutorials and Workshop Physics, as well as modeling and video analysis. The tools and software are available for Macintosh and Windows computers. Results of studies on the effectiveness of these curricula will also be presented. Those interested in making major changes in their introductory physics programs are especially encouraged to attend. Participants will receive current versions of the curricula, along with Teaching Physics with the Physics Suite, a comprehensive book by E.F. Redish (University of Maryland) on strategies for implementing physics education research-based curricula. Topics will be chosen from both semesters of the introductory physics course. There is a small application fee ($50 if you register before March 15), and a small course fee ($125). Participants are responsible for their transportation, lodging and meals. Reasonably priced accommodations have been arranged. *Participants can register for 1 or 2 graduate credit hours through the University of Oregon at a cost of $66 per credit hour. For more information and to register: http://uoregon.edu/~sokoloff/chaut1.htm, or contact David Sokoloff, Department of Physics, 1274 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1274, e-mail: soko...@uoregon.edu, Phone: (541) 346-4755, Fax: (541) 346-5861.
