Direct linkJones, David J.; Madison, Kirk W.; Wieman, Carl E. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
We present a study of active learning pedagogies in an upper-division physics course. This work was guided by the principle of deliberate practice for the development of expertise, and this principle was used in the design of the materials and the orchestration of the classroom activities of the students. We present our process for efficiently…

Cahill, Michael J.; Hynes, K. Mairin; Trousil, Rebecca; Brooks, Lisa A.; McDaniel, Mark A.; Repice, Michelle; Zhao, Jiuqing; Frey, Regina F. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
Interactive-engagement (IE) techniques consistently enhance conceptual learning gains relative to traditional-lecture courses, but attitudinal gains typically emerge only in small, inquiry-based curricula. The current study evaluated whether a "scalable IE" curriculum--a curriculum used in a large course (~130 students per section) and…

Thacker, Beth; Dulli, Hani; Pattillo, Dave; West, Keith – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
We report conceptual inventory results of a large-scale assessment project at a large university. We studied the introduction of materials and instructional methods informed by physics education research (PER) (physics education research-informed materials) into a department where most instruction has previously been traditional and a significant…
