Sokoloff, David R. – Physics Teacher, 2016
There is considerable evidence that traditional approaches are ineffective in teaching physics concepts, including light and optics concepts. A major focus of the work of the Activity Based Physics Group has been on the development of active learning curricula like RealTime Physics (RTP) labs and Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (ILDs). Among…

Eales, Jonathan; Laksana, Sangob – Physics Teacher, 2016
Student learning in science is improved by authentic personal experience of research projects and the publication of findings. Graduate students do this, but it is uncommon to find student research and publishing in high school science programs. We describe here the Student Research and Publishing Program (SRPP) established at International School…

Doherty, Michael; Fish, Vincent L.; Needles, Madeleine – Physics Teacher, 2011
Scientists and teachers have worked together to produce teaching materials for the Very Small Radio Telescope (VSRT), an easy-to-use, low-cost apparatus that can be used in multiple laboratory experiments in high school and university physics and astronomy classes. In this article, we describe the motivation for the VSRT and several of the…

Rebello, Carina M.; Hanuscin, Deborah; Sinha, Somnath – Physics Teacher, 2011
Physics First--a movement to invert the traditional science course sequence to teach physics at the ninth-grade level--is gaining interest. However, there is limited literature exploring how to support teachers in successfully implementing Physics First. To address this, a professional development (PD) program supporting a cadre of teacher-leaders…

Lang, Charles; And Others – Physics Teacher, 1975
Describes a three-member team approach to physics instruction using Project Physics. Emphasizes a variety of instructional techniques and activities. (CP)
Descriptors: Enrollment Trends, Flexible Scheduling, Instruction, Physics

Bolin, Calvin; And Others – Physics Teacher, 1973
Discusses the development of a model for implementing Project Physics without the use of physics teachers. Indicates that students can study Unit 3, independently, with the aid of the supplementary materials produced in this project and achieve as well as the average student in a teacher-taught class. (CC)

Chesley, Robert E.; Roxas, Segundo – Physics Teacher, 1972
Briefly describes the educational situation in the Philippines and the lack of materials available. Outlines the development of a national physics curriculum combining aspects of PSSC and HPP courses. Teacher training programs were developed to implement the curriculum. (TS)

Haber-Schaim, Uri – Physics Teacher, 1982
Suggests criteria for constructing a "basic" physics program based on such premises as limited class time, time and practice needed for skill development/understanding structuring of subject matter, and choices of content and approach. Long-range objectives related to the list of premises are discussed. (SK)
