Transformational Teaching: Theoretical Underpinnings, Basic Principles, and Core Methods

Transformational Teaching: Theoretical Underpinnings, Basic Principles, and Core Methods.

Approaches to classroom instruction have evolved considerably over the past 50 years. This progress has been spurred by the development of several learning principles and methods of instruction, including active learning, student-centered learning, collaborative learning, experiential learning, and problem-based learning. In the present paper, we suggest that these seemingly different strategie...

Resonant X-ray Diffraction: basic theoretical principles

We present the main steps governing the theory of resonant x-ray diffraction (RXD). We focus on the derivation of the anomalous scattering amplitude from perturbation theory and starting from the low-energy expansion of the Dirac Hamiltonian. We give the main ingredients of the multipolar expansion in term of electric and magnetic transitions. We also show the expansion in terms of scattering t...

Transformational Teaching

Psychological science has developed remarkably in the past century. These advances are due in part to the development of new methods for examining the underpinnings of how people think and behave. Although studies that employ the naked eye as a measuring instrument still hold tremendous value, behavioral observation is now joined by cutting-edge methods that permit reliable examination of human...
