Describes a physics teaching approach used in England characterized by involving students with most of the work and utilizing teachers' time for conferences with each student about twice a week. Individual's progress was evaluated during conferences and joint sessions. (PS)

Describes an approach used by Stanford University to teach physics to Mexican- American high school sophomores who lack academic motivation but show intellectual promise. Discusses the remedial tutorial program, the volunteer lecture series, and the student laboratory projects. Explains the social aspects of the program, as well as its financing.…

Describes an experiment with a special section of a terminal" physics survey. The experiment consisted of systematically removing as much structure as feasible while using a lecture format. Evaluation indicates student enthusiasm and performance increase as structure disappears. (Author/TS)

Laboratory activities give students an opportunity to interact with computers in modes ranging from remote terminal use in laboratory experimentation to the direct hands-on use of a small digital computer with disk memory and on-line plotter, and finally to the use of a large computer under closed-shop operation. (Author/TS)

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)

Methods, based on historical techniques, are described which may be used to determine the relative density of irregularly shaped objects of various composition. (TS)

Presents the recommendations and guidelines for the improvement of the physics instruction adopted by a group of physics educators at a conference in Eger, Hungary. (DS)
