Institutionalizing reform in introductory physics
We examine how the University of Colorado at Boulder has created the sustained the use of a research-based curriculum in the introductory calculus-based physics sequence, despite the significant increases in cost and time commitment. The adoption of the University of Washington Tutorials in Introductory Physics [1] curriculum required significant pedagogical shifts in the students’ role, educat...

متن کاملAddition Laws in Introductory Physics
We propose a unified approach to addition of some physical quantities (among which resistors and capacitors are the most well-known) that are usually encountered in introductory physics such that the formulæ required to solve problems are always simply additive. This approach has the advantage of being consistent with the intuition of students. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, ...
متن کاملMathematics Self-Assessment for Physics Majors
The lack of mathematical sophistication is a leading cause of difficulty for students in Classical Mechanics and other upper level physics courses. An official pre-requisite of PHY3321 is PHY2048, PHY2049, and the math requirements include MAC 2311, 2312 and 2313 (Vector Calculus). These math courses together cover derivatives and integrals of trig and log functions, series and sequences, analy...
متن کاملPhysics Lab, Critical Thinking and Gender Differences
This paper deals with the relationship between teaching methods and techniques on one hand and critical thinking on the other hand, with special emphasis on laboratory method and practical work in teaching physics. Classroom lecture with memorizing facts and recall information does not develop critical thinking. But, is the laboratory practice appropriate method in terms of fostering critical t...
