TEACHING INTRODUCTORY ELECTRICITY Dimitris Psillos University of Thessaloniki, Greece The teaching and learning of electricity, a topic often included in primary and secondary curricula, has been the object of many investigations, books and conferences (Duit et al, 1985; Calliot, 1992). The emerging picture world-wide is not promising given that an adequate knowledge of, for example, electrical circuits has rarely been acquired by students by the end of secondary education. Research results provide a fairly clear view of a variety of students' topic-specific alternative ideas (an extensive review is presented in Section C of this volume). Moreover, it emerges that students encounter deep-level conceptual and reasoning difficulties in understanding introductory electricity which the usual or innovative teaching tends to ignore rather than explicitly take into account. Briefly stated, students demonstrate learning difficulties with regard to: i) Developing systemic reasoning Linear causal reasoning is employed by students to account for the functioning of electrical circuits. In simple circuits, causal models are of a source-consumer type resembling, from the scientific perspective, an energy view of simple circuit operation. Often, following the teaching of resistance, sequential models develop, according to which any disturbance travels in one direction affecting circuit components in succession. Linear causal reasoning is fundamentally different from the systemic reasoning which is necessary to understand the electrical circuit as a closed system in which all components interact with each other and any disturbance extends in all directions.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Educational Programs That Work - 1995 Capacitor-Aided System for Teaching and Learning Electricity (CASTLE) Capacitor-Aided System for Teaching and Learning Electricity (CASTLE). An innovative instructional module for use in high schools that can replace the electricity portion of any course for beginning physics students. Its instructional approach is an investigative, model-building mode of learning. Audience High school students who are taking a beginning physics course at any level. Description Evidence of Effectiveness Four claims of effectiveness were evaluated using multiple choice diagnostic pre- and post-tests that focused on conceptual questions. The diagnostic was administered to classes of three groups of teachers: those who developed the curriculum; those who were trained in the use of the curriculum; and "control" teachers who used the traditional electricity curriculum. Scores for the three groups were compared. Results showed that the curriculum improved understanding of and confidence with circuit concepts significantly more than traditional instruction; dramatically improved the confidence of females with circuit concepts; and could be implemented without significant loss of effectiveness to teachers who did not participate in its development. Requirements A three-day teacher training workshop is required for successful adoption of the program. Training workshops are scheduled periodically around the nation.

Decisions in Economics Activity at the Laboratory of Operations Research and Decision Systems During the recent years, the members of the Laboratory did research in several fields of operations research and decisions systems. Although these fields are substantially interrelated, they can be subdivided conforming to the diversity of the mathematical methods used in the analysis and the mathematical objects to be investigated. Some of these fields are listed below: analysis of stochastic and deterministic systems decision systems economic time series global optimization linear and quadratic programming mathematical methods in decision support of industrial applications nonsmooth optimization numerical methods in operations research and mathematical physics parametric uncertainty in adaptive control tensor optimization. See the Activity Reports of the Laboratory for the list and a brief review of the publications of our members in the above fields during the recent years, as well as for the list of citations. Besides proceeding with research in the earlier successful fields, further research has been or is planned to be started in some new themes.

Dr. Ken Mechling 1. HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES WORK! Third graders search the schoolyard for make-believe Yarn Worms in colors of yellow, green, and brown and discover that the green ones are well camouflaged in the grass. First graders at a learning center match film cans for contents that make the same sounds. Fifth graders experiment with paper airplanes, investigating variables that make them fly the longest distances. Hands-on activities get kids actively involved in science. If they are physically involved, they are likely to be mentally involved too. They are thinking about what they are doing. This is called “hands-on, minds-on science.” Research shows that hands-on, minds-on science works. And kids love it!

77. SCIENCE ACTIVITIES Teaching Suggestions Allow students to work on this activity individually or in groups of two. Section of student text titled What is Electric Current. http://www.earth.uni.edu/EECP/elem/mod2_scia.html

SCIENCE ACTIVITIES All Charged Up Problem: How do electric charges act? Materials: 1. Medium-sized round balloon for each student. 2. Individual baggies filled with a comb, pieces of cloth (silk, wool, cotton), foil, styrofoam, small pieces of torn up paper one per group. 3. Puffed rice cereal about 6 pieces per student. Follow This Procedure: Place five or six pieces of puffed rice cereal in a balloon. Blow up the balloon and tie its neck closed with string. Rub the balloon with wool cloth about twenty times. Move the cloth in only one direction. Predict what will happen between the cloth, the balloon, and the puffed rice. Next, rub a plastic comb with the cloth as you did the balloon. Hold the balloon by the string, and bring the comb near it. Predict what will happen between them. Attempt to make the cereal "dance" inside the balloon by moving the comb around. Think About It: 1. Did you give the balloon and the comb electrical charges? Explain what happens. 2. Compare the way the balloon and the comb acted with the way the balloon and the cloth acted. Challenge: What caused the objects to change their motion?
