Describes a Keller Plan program for teaching thermodynamics to college students. The outcome is improvement in study habits, and a more positive attitude towards examinations, but less performance in problem solving ability than via traditional approach. (Author/GA)

Included are three Learning Activity Packages (LAP) studies for use in high school physics instruction: Time and Measurement Function; Force, Work, and Momentum; and Momentum, Work, and Energy. Each LAP contains a rationale for teaching the material included, student objectives (stated in behavioral terms), a list of resources (readings, problems,…

Describes various physics courses offered at Moline, particularly the conduct of self-pacing programs for grade 10-12 students who are either interested in the topic or planning further study in science. Indicates tremendously increasing enrollments with the adoption of the new instruction method. (CC)

This is a report of the development of four self-study units in physics for college nonscience majors. The topics of the units are Waves and Sound, The Radiant Energy of Sunlight, Infrared Radiation, and Acceleration. Each unit includes an inexpensive, portable kit; a student manual containing all requisite background information, self-test,…

Discusses different kinds of material presentation in the teaching of electromagnetism at the university level, including three "classical" approaches and the Keller personalized proctorial system. Indicates that a general introduction to generators and motors may be useful in an electromagnetism course. (CC)
