    Interactive Teaching Units in Physics
    Summary
    The concept of the interactive teaching unit first emerged in the late 1970s (Reid, 1978; Johnstone and Reid, 1979) arising from a major research project which was seeking to explore the development of attitudes relating to the themes covered in the study of chemistry. From this project, a sound educational underpinning was developed (Johnstone and Reid, 1981). Much later, the use of interactive units has been extended to skills development, social issues awareness and the applications of science subjects in real-life situations (Reid, 1999; Clarkeburn et al., 2000; Lennon, et al., 2002). Sets of units were developed in chemistry and biology and, more recently, a range of four teaching units in physics was developed under LTSN funding. Subject area . Physics An interactive teaching unit is a free standing teaching resource where students have to solve a problem. The problem is based on a real-life situation with varying degrees of simplification and simulation. The units are short (typically from 1 hour to 3 hours) and designed to fit into traditional tutorial and laboratory timings. Students usually work in small groups. By experiencing different views of the same issue, students are encouraged to recognise the many facets of real-life decision taking and to accept that decisions often have to be made on the basis of incomplete information. Students will also have opportunities to assess data presented in several forms, to weigh arguments, to contribute to a group discussion, to present arguments based on gathered evidence and to listen to the arguments proposed by others. They should begin to see the place of such skills in the context of their education in physics and in the world of work.

    My main love in teaching is, of course, astronomy. At present, I teach an overview of the solar system (Physics 275) and stellar astrophysics (Physics 375). In addition to these our astronomy group offers an introductory survey course for science majors (Sci 238) and non-science students (Sci 237), and a fourth year galaxies and cosmology course (Physics 475). I have also prepared a version of Sci 238 which is offered by the University of Waterloo Distance Education program. One of the greatest sources of satisfaction for me here at Waterloo is working with undergraduate students on research projects, both as summer research assistants and through the Physics 437 senior research project. harris home research activities publications Department of Physics

    Question
    I need some help teaching physics to secondary students.
    Response
    Hello, In response to your request for information on physics, I conducted a sample search of the ERIC database. Below I have appended my search strategy, 13 citations with abstracts, and directions for accessing the full text. These citations may represent an introductory, rather than exhaustive, search for information on your topic. If you would like to conduct your own free ERIC database searches via the Internet, please visit the ERIC Database Help pages for directions or go directly to http://www.eduref.org/Eric/adv_search.shtml to search. I have also attached some related resources that may be helpful. Thank you for using AskERIC! If you have any questions or would like further assistance, please do not hesitate to send another message. AskERIC Staff Internet Sites: * The Physics Classroom.

    Developing Physics learning activities for fostering student creativity in Hong Kong context Previous Contents Next Results Student evaluation
    On the whole, most students in this study could respond to most of the tasks given in 10 to 20 minutes. Some of them gave plenty of answers, while others' responses were slower. Some of their answers were quite interesting or creative. For the more comprehensive tasks like Question 20,21 and 22, most students can generate answers with some relevant ideas, thought they not so complete. Among all the questions, students showed greatest difficulties in answering Question 6, 12, 16 an 18. Sample of students' answers are shown in appendix of this paper. The performance of the students indicated that the activities suggested are, on the average, suitable to this group of students. The written feedbacks of the students on these activities can be classified into four groups. They are (1) direct feelings towards the activities, (2) perceived learning outcomes in Physics learning, (3) perceived learning outcomes in creativity development, and (4) their puzzle and worries in the activities.

    Teaching Activities Martin Goldman During my 25 years of teaching at CU Boulder, I have enjoyed communicating at all levels with students and colleagues. My experiences have ranged all the way from teaching Introductory Physics to classes of over 400 undergraduates (including many pre-medical students) to working closely with the 13 postdoctoral students from the US and abroad, whom I have brought here over the years. In addition to teaching advanced graduate courses in APAS, I have developed and taught several highly successful innovative new undergraduate courses, including Light and Color, and, most recently, a new "critical thinking" course - Science and Public Policy. Perhaps the ultimate realization of that philosophy was in the course Light and Color, which I developed for undergraduates wishing to satisfy their core science requirement in a novel and exciting manner. This course deals with just a small part of physics, achieving both greater depth and more relevance to the non-scientist. This course deals with the physical and psychological principals of light and color, and has been enthusiastically received by undergraduate majors in journalism, business, theater, film, and other areas. A rather different educational experience was encountered in my teaching of Introductory Physics, 2010 and 2020. A large number of undergraduate pre-medical students take this course, which often represents the only obstacle between them and medical school. Although I had been warned that the premeds are fiercely competitive and even unscrupulous, I found nothing of the kind to be true. Most responded to the challenge with hard work and self-discipline, and I found myself getting to know a number of them quite well. Some have told me it was immensely rewarding for them to "catch on" to intimidatingly "difficult" concepts. As a consequence of personal involvement with many of my students, I have been called upon to write dozens of letters of recommendation for Medical Schools, and have followed the (successful) careers of many of my former students in this course through extensive correspondence.

        Program Description
        The university teaching assistant (TA) experience is the major avenue for the training of the future professoriate. However, too often it involves training in leading small-group discussion sections or assisting an instructor with grading or other specific tasks related to the instructor's class, but does not provide an opportunity for the graduate TA to design and present his/her own class, nor does it provide actual preparation for the many and varied roles of the academic scholars. This program is designed to provide an opportunity for graduate students in Physics to explore many of the issues involved in college and university teaching and to develop the competencies required of effective college instructors. In addition to developing experience and expertise in college teaching, participants will be introduced to a wide range of faculty responsibilities. This approach to the training of college instructors is based on classroom experience and feedback from experienced teachers in a variety of institutional settings, supplemented by research and theories of how people learn and process information.
