Martinez-Torregrosa, Joaquin; Lopez-Gay, Rafael; Gras-Marti, Albert – Science & Education, 2006
Despite its frequent use, there is little understanding of the concept of differential among upper high school and undergraduate students of physics. As a first step to identify the origin of this situation and to revert it, we have done a historic and epistemological study aimed at clarifying the role and the meaning of the differential in…

Rosenthal, Judith W. – 1992
Between 1980 and 1990, the total number of Asian, Hispanic, American Indian, and foreign undergraduates increased by more than 50% at public, private, 4-year and 2-year colleges. Many of these students may be of limited English proficiency, suggesting that the traditional science lecture/lab format may need modification to incorporate the theory…

Lugt, Karel Vander – Physics Teacher, 1993
Develops a simple core-halo model of a galaxy that exhibits the main features of observed rotation curves and quantitatively illustrates the need to postulate halos of dark matter. Uses only elementary mechanics. (Author/MVL)

Roberts, Dana – Physics Teacher, 1981
Presents suggestions intended to help physicists who have not had the benefit of teacher training workshops and programs, including, among others, those on lecturing, conducting laboratories and discussion sessions, preparing tests, and dealing with difficult subject matter. (SK)

Van Ausdal, Ray G. – Physics Teacher, 1988
Discusses student difficulties in problem solving. Presents a structured approach to one-dimensional constant acceleration problems. Provides researcher's experience including an example problem, advantages of the approach, and student responses with two illustrations of problem solving. (YP)

Thomaz, Marilia F.; And Others – Physics Education, 1995
Describes a teaching model aimed at promoting conceptual change concerning heat and temperature. The model is used with teachers (n=2) and students (n=92) to explore its use as a professional development tool as well as a teaching strategy. Results indicate that the teaching model is effective in changing students' ideas and the approach resulted…

Riggs, James B. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1988
Presents a framework for model development that, when used, will help the student (or professor) avoid the major pitfalls associated with modeling. Includes not properly identifying the controlling factors, lack of model validation and developing a model that is incompatible with its end use. (CW)

Roberts, Douglas A. – Teaching Education, 1991
Explores what constitutes an explanation for a science teaching event, noting conceptual-analysis-of-teaching and task-analysis approaches. Examples of various categories and distinctions are provided, drawing on data from pre- and postlesson discussions of an experienced teacher's seventh grade science lesson. The Science Teacher Thinking…

Schwartz, Leslie J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Discusses a method for teaching time pulsed NMR principals that are as simple and pictorial as possible. Uses xyz coordinate figures and presents theoretical explanations using a Fourier transformation spectrum. Assumes no previous knowledge of quantum mechanics for students. Usable for undergraduates. (MVL)

Tobin, Kenneth; Seiler, Gale; Smith, Mackenzie W. – Research in Science Education, 1999
Advocates co-teaching as an essential component of teacher education programs. Describes the co-teaching efforts of a university professor, doctoral student, and student-teacher as they taught science to African-American students placed in a low-track program of study in an urban high school. Presents theoretical frameworks associated with…

Callison, Priscilla L.; Wright, Emmett L. – 1993
This study investigated the effect of three specific hands-on teaching strategies on the attainment and alteration of preservice elementary teachers' conceptions about earth-sun-moon relationships. The subjects (n=76) were enrolled in an elementary school science methods course. The descriptive nature of this study explored: (1) the effect of two…

Trumbull, Deborah J.; Kerr, Patricia – 1989
There is general agreement that the current teaching of secondary science is not as good as it should be. Different critics identify different weaknesses, but there is agreement that students are not learning how scientists make knowledge claims and use this knowledge. This paper assumes that one powerful influence on the development of teachers…

Lonning, Robert A.; DeFranco, Thomas C. – School Science and Mathematics, 1994
An integrated mathematics/science elementary methods course was developed as part of Connecticut's statewide systemic initiative. Considers: (1) What does integration mean? (2) What content should be taught? and (3) How should it be taught? Implementation team included an exemplary elementary teacher. Appendix presents a sample integrated lesson.…

Solomon, Pearl G.; And Others – 1994
The Marie Curie Mathematics and Science Center at St. Thomas Aquinas College (New York), in a comprehensive effort to improve mathematics and science education, offers the Saturday Morning Search for Solutions enrichment program for area students in grades 7-12. The program is interdisciplinary, connecting technology and the study of societal…
