Increasing the Effectiveness of Active Learning Using Deliberate Practice: A Homework Transformation
Miller, Kelly; Callaghan, Kristina; McCarty, Logan S.; Deslauriers, Louis – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
We show how learning can be improved, beyond that shown in actively taught classrooms, by also transforming the homework using the principles of deliberate practice. We measure the impact of transforming the homework on student learning in a course that had already implemented an active approach to teaching in class. We compare performance on the…

Finn, Kevin; FitzPatrick, Kathleen; Yan, Zi – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2017
Students often struggle in introductory health sciences courses; some students have difficulty in upper level classes. To address this, we converted three lecture/lab courses, traditional first-year Anatomy and Physiology (A&P I), upper level Biomechanics, and upper level Microbiology to an integrated studio model. We used the Student…

Watkins, Jessica; Mazur, Eric – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2013
In this paper we present results relating undergraduate student retention in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors to the use of Peer Instruction (PI) in an introductory physics course at a highly selective research institution. We compare the percentages of students who switch out of a STEM major after taking a physics…
