Self-Paced Physics, Course Materials.
New York Inst. of Tech., Old Westbury.; Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD.
Samples of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this collection for dissemination purposes. Descriptions are included of course objectives, characteristics, structures, and content. As a two-semester course of study for science and engineering sophomores, most topics are on a level comparable to that of classical physics by Halliday and Resnick. Passages of four college-level physics textbooks are used as reading assignments. In the material development, emphases are placed on instructional objectives represented by core problems, an exposition through enabling and competence check problems, an iterative process of successive tryouts, and a self-instruction theory with minimum tutorial support. Contained in the whole set are 18 problems and solutions books, 72 study guides, 25 videotapes, 25 talking books, 25 illustrated texts, 12 quarterly diagnostic tests, remedial problem sets, one student manual, two instructor's manuals for course and laboratory, three laboratory manuals, and one enrichment volume. The course has been used for three years at the U. S. Naval Academy through an extensive trial-and-revision process. (Related documents are SE 016 066 - SE 016 088 and ED 062 123 - ED 062 125.) (CC)
