LoPresto, Michael C. – Physics Education, 2010
In recent years, short question-and-answer activities known as lecture tutorials that are designed to help students work with and discover concepts for themselves, rather than simply being told about them (lectured to) have become a popular tool for learner-centred teaching of introductory college astronomy. Students on such a course are usually…

Jevons, F. R. – Physics Education, 1972
Suggests that the curriculum include a balance of both science and non-science and that the thought process of science be applied in non-science situations. Schools and colleges must expose students to this application of scientific thinking. Knowledge in breadth does not necessarily mean lower standards. (PS)

Ingram, D. J. E. – Physics Education, 1975
New physics programs in Great Britain include a program with emphasis on mathematics and other sciences, and a joint honors program combining physics with another discipline, such as philosophy, economics, or English. Future programs may include even broader programs, in areas such as energy science or resources utilization. (MLH)

Chapman, Bryan R. – Physics Education, 1984
Examines various issues related to the establishment of a core of physics studies at 16+ and 18+. Indicates that a core physics syllabus should be concerned with phenomena, theory, models, and applications and not with such topics as the use of a U tube manometer. (JN)
