Millikan Lecture 1999: The Workplace, Student Minds, and Physics Learning Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We review three important ideas concerning physics education. First, what do surveys from the workplace indicate about the relative importance in student education of scientific process knowledge, personal skills, and conceptual physics knowledge? Second, what are the characteristics of student minds that need to acquire this knowledge and these skills? Finally, what can we do with physics learning systems to help these minds better acquire this knowledge and these skills? © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers. @DOI: 10.1119/1.1399043#

Building a Science of Teaching Physics
Individual teachers of college level physics sometimes develop deep insights into how their students learn and what elements of classroom instruction are valuable in facilitating the learning process. Yet these insights rarely persist beyond the individual instructor. Educational methods seem to cycle from one fad to another, rarely cumulating increasingly powerful knowledge in the way scientis...
متن کاملChallenges from Alfred Bork: What has happened to computers in physics education?
In his 1978 Millikan lecture on Interactive Learning, Alfred Bork discussed eleven different modes of computer use in physics education. This paper converts Bork’s modes into challenges to the computers in physics education community and evaluates our progress since 1978. It concludes with a brief discussion of future challenges. Alfred Bork, professor of physics at the University of California...
متن کاملA comparison of conventional lecture and team-based learning methods in terms of student learning and teaching satisfaction
Background: Team-based learning (TBL) is a structured type of cooperative learning that has growing application in medical education. This study compares levels of student learning and teaching satisfaction for a neurology course between conventional lecture and team-based learning. Methods: The study incorporated 70 students aged 19 to 22 years at the school of rehabilitation. One half ...
متن کاملInteractive Learning: Twenty Years Later
It is always interesting to read what one has written many years ago. In this case the paper was initially given as an invited lecture to the American Association of Physics Teachers, the Millikan lecture. Then it was reprinted with several other papers of mine in Robert Taylor’s book, (The Computer in School: Tutor, Tool, Tutee, 1980) in the section that discusses the use of the computer as a ...
متن کاملI-MINDS: A Multiagent System for Intelligent Computer- Supported Collaborative Learning and Classroom Management
I-MINDS provides a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) infrastructure and environment for learners in synchronous learning and classroom management applications for instructors, for large classroom or distance education situations. For supporting the instructor, I-MINDS includes a teacher agent. The teacher agent allows the instructor to interact with students, manage Q&A sessions,...
