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…

Anslow, John – Physics Education, 1999
Suggests that the physics that students find interesting and absorbing is not necessarily that which curriculum planners think it ought to be. Finds that what is crucial is thorough preparation, equipment that works, and the support of a skilled laboratory technician. (Author/CCM)

Archenhold, W. F. – Physics Education, 1974
Presents some ideas about teaching electromagnetic induction at sixth form level, including educational objectives, learning difficulties, syllabus requirements, selection of unit system, and sequence of material presentation. Suggests the Education Group of the Institute of Physics hold further discussions on these aspects before including the…

Mace, W. K. – Physics Education, 1971
Describes some of the general principles involved in the planning of a teaching sequence. Discusses in more detail one example of a complete syllabus including major concepts and experiments. (Author/TS)
Descriptors: Course Descriptions, Course Organization, Curriculum Development, Kinetics

Cryer, Patricia – Physics Education, 1972
Describes a physics teaching approach used in England characterized by involving students with most of the work and utilizing teachers' time for conferences with each student about twice a week. Individual's progress was evaluated during conferences and joint sessions. (PS)

Li, Guangzhou – Physics Education, 1997
Describes the evolution of the seven major physics syllabi used in all secondary schools in China and analyzes the shifts of these syllabi in terms of objectives, content, instructional hours and teaching methods. Suggests changes for China's future secondary-physics education, including the need for modern experimental equipment such as computers…

Licht, Pieter – Physics Education, 1991
A program for teaching the concepts of electric energy, voltage, and current is proposed. The ideas and concepts are introduced in a sequence that places more emphasis on some aspects that are normally treated very briefly. A phenomenological orientation, qualitative and quantitative micro- and macroscopic treatments, and the inclusion of the…

Gregory, J. R.; Stewart, M. F. – Physics Education, 1997
Discusses the benefits of using multimedia Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) as an alternative teaching method. CAL packages may provide more flexibility in course design, encourage student-centered learning, and help students of differing abilities and academic backgrounds. Also examines problems associated with the use of multimedia CAL such as…
