Summarizes the activities undertaken in the 1973 annual conference of the Education Group of the Institute of Physics, including discussions on effective teaching and exhibits brought by member participants. Included are descriptions of the Keller instruction system and the small group method. (CC)

Experiences with a teaching machine for self-paced individual teaching in physics are discussed and evaluated. The teaching system is described, the problems of choosing topics and making programs are examined, and student evaluation of the course is reported. (DT)

Discusses the programs and packages of a computer-assisted instruction project called Computational Physics Teaching Laboratory, in which students solve simulated physics at a computer terminal with visual display. (MLH)

Presented is a review of a conference sponsored by the International Commission on Physics Education. The conference was concerned with the teaching of physics. (SL)

Attempts to briefly answer why computers should enter the educational scene, and how can they be effectively employed in this context. With emphasis on physics, several operating systems used in England and the United States are described. (TS)

Discusses how to establish a computer-assisted learning (CAL) program, including costs, needed equipment, preparing CAL packages, and evaluation techniques. (MLH)

Describes how a course in digital electronics was changed to Keller plan format and subsequently modified and improved as a self-paced, self-study course. (MLH)

Discussed is the need for examining the reasons for teaching optics to help to determine how optics should be taught. (SL)

Discusses the potential impact of microcomputers on physics computer-assisted learning in the United Kingdom. Explains some available systems, their requirements, advantages, problems, and the cost involved. (GA)

Describes some of the difficulties that arise when a course is transferred from one teacher to another and relates some experiences in the transfer of a self paced physics course. (GS)

Discusses techniques for teaching electrical resistance. (SL)

Presented are justifications for including optics in the science curriculum, an outline of optics instruction as presently presented in English secondary schools, and a review of probable future trends in optics instruction. (SL)

Describes the physics program of the English curriculum project called Computers in the Curriculum. Gives examples of some of the on-line programs that are used in teaching secondary school physics. (MLH)

Briefly describes hardware and software requirements for a computer based learning system. The methods used in various systems are reviewed briefly. (TS)
