Playing with Electricity: Exploring electric circuits through open ended play
Both children and adults typically have misconceptions about how basic electric circuits work (Grotzer et al. 2006). These can be so ingrained that in one study the majority of college students enrolled in a physics class were unable to light a bulb using battery and three wires (Fredette and Lochhead, 1980). In this project we aimed to introduce a basic understanding of simple electric circuit...
متن کاملCollaboration Between Researchers and Knowledge Users in Health Technology Assessment: A Qualitative Exploratory Study
Background Collaboration between researchers and knowledge users is increasingly promoted because it could enhance more evidence-based decision-making and practice. These complex relationships differ in form, in the particular goals they are trying to achieve, and in whom they bring together. Although much is understood about why partnerships form, relatively little is known about how collabora...
متن کاملComputerized scripts for enhancing collaborative learning
Free collaboration does not systematically produce learning. One way to enhance the effectiveness of collaborative learning is to structure interactions by engaging students in well-defined scripts. A collaboration script is a set of instructions prescribing how students should form groups, how they should interact and collaborate and how they should solve the problem. In computer-supported col...
متن کاملEngaging undergraduate summer research students and faculty in a regional neuroscience network.
Students who engage in experiential research programs and who form communities of learning are more likely to persist in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs. Faculty who collaborate are more likely to publish and to stay engaged in their field. With funding from the Great Lakes Colleges Association (GLCA) Expanding Collaboration Initiative, we engaged in a series of summe...
متن کاملThree colossal neurons: a new approach to an old classroom demonstration.
Research suggests that the key to optimal student learning, regardless of class size, is engaging students in active learning. It is my contention that to truly understand neural processing, one must not only understand the activities of the neuron as a living cell, but also how that cell works within the context of a neural network. The demonstration exercise described herein combines techniqu...
