Research-Based Active Learning in Introductory Physics
 
NEW: Including RealTime Physics 3rd Edition, Clicker Interactive Lecture
Demos and Video Analysis
 
Chautauqua Short Course
 
June 15-17, 2014, Portland, OR
 
Designed for those who teach introductory physics at universities,
colleges and high schools. Graduate credit will be available.*
 
Instructors: Priscilla Laws, Dickinson College, David Sokoloff,
University of Oregon, Ronald Thornton, Tufts University
 
This hands-on course is designed for those interested in making learning
in their introductory course more active either within a traditional
course structure  (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-validated
strategies for each component of the introductory course such as
Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (ILDs), RealTime Physics (RTP) labs,
Activity Based Tutorials, Collaborative Problem-Solving Tutorials,
Workshop Physics, and Physics with Video Analysis, along with strategies
for analytic mathematical modeling. Some recent developments include the
new electricity and magnetism labs in the 3rd Ed. of RTP, and ILDs using
personal response systems (clickers) and interactive video analysis. The
tools and software accompanying these active learning strategies are
available for both Macintosh and Windows computers.
 
Results of studies on the effectiveness of these curricula will also be
discussed. Participants will receive complimentary copies of the active
learning 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. (The
curricula are also available in the ABP High School E-dition--a more
convenient, and inexpensive form for high school use.) Physics topics
will be chosen from both semesters of the introductory physics course.
 
* Up to two hours of graduate credit will be available from the
University of Oregon.
