Teaching Introductory Physics Arnold B. Arons
Publisher: Wiley

Hestenes was teaching mostly graduate students, but his colleague was teaching introductory physics, and the students in his classes were not doing well. Sep 13, 2011 - The two of them were physics professors at Arizona State University. Aug 30, 2013 - This presentation focuses on how deep understanding can be achieved through the use of concepts and real-world experiences in teaching Introductory Physics. Dec 31, 2010 - Fun with the Bright Star Catalog. In addition to teaching introductory physics courses (both conceptual and technical), I have the privilege of teaching conceptual astronomy. Acosta especially enjoys how Patty uses funny examples and white board drawings to make his introductory physics class entertaining and engaging. Jan 9, 2013 - The course is called College in the Schools (CIS) Introduction to College Physics. Jun 22, 2008 - Thinking Journey (TJ) approach suggests the way to improve learning physical concepts in introductory physics teaching. Feb 1, 2012 - Omar Acosta looks forward to Dr. May 19, 2014 - I can probably wave hands convincingly enough to get through if it comes up, but it's a nice reminder that teaching intro E&M umpteen times doesn't actually mean you understand everything in it perfectly. Feb 18, 2009 - Although every class presents its own challenges, I've found teaching introductory physics presents a unique set of issues associated with the diversity of preparation that students bring to the classroom. Apr 30, 2012 - Title, Graduate teaching assistants in a reformed introductory physics course: Synthesis of quantitative analyses of instructor action and qualitative analyses of instructor attitudes and perspectives. Apr 28, 2008 - The purpose of this study was to investigate how graduate physics teaching assistants (TAs) develop professional knowledge for teaching a new undergraduate introductory physics curriculum, Matter and Interactions (M&I ).
