Physics Special Colloquium, November 16, 2004Physics Education vs. Physics Education Research: Examples of the Latter and Implications for Improving Instructional PracticesJose MestreUniversity of Massachusetts AmherstThe words “physics education research” conjure many meanings among physicists who are not physics education researchers. Prof. Mestre will begin by distinguishing between physics education, and physics education research. Then he will present several studies to illustrate how physics education research sheds light on students’ reasoning processes, and how some of this research can sometimes be applied to improve physics education. He will conclude by identifying interesting future directions for physics education research. 10:30 a.m., Smith Laboratory, Room 1094Refreshments served in Smith 1094 at 10:00 a.m. |
