A Predict-Observe-Explain Cycle to Promote College Students' Scientific Explanations
Sengul, Ozden
School Science Review, v102 n379 p35-38 Dec 2020
This article describes the implementation of an activity with a Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) learning cycle to teach the concepts of velocity and acceleration to physics students aged 17-19. The study indicates how the instructor enacted the activity and provides sample student responses and group discussions. The description includes an example of an activity to integrate into an introductory-level physics course. This type of activity may be implemented in different contexts to address students' learning difficulties.
