Fear Of Physics - And How To Help Students Overcome It

by Helge Kastrup e Jeffry V Mallow

38,41€ + 10% CARD

 An important area of physics pedagogy is the effect of student attitudes and anxieties on physics education. Due to fear, many intellectually able students are unable to obtain satisfactory results in physics. With several decades of experience studying the correlation between science attitudes and anxieties in various student populations, the authors of this comprehensive text discuss how preconceptions and misconceptions about physics often produce anxiety, and they frame this within the wider field of science anxiety. Topics covered include student attitudes, science anxiety, gender, nationality, mathematics anxiety, classroom pedagogy, laboratory pedagogy, group project pedagogy, pedagogies for different student populations, constructivism, social engagement, information technology and issues relevant to distance learning. The book expertly brings together these topics and explains their connections with attitudes and anxiety.Key Features<ul> <li>Discusses barriers to learning physics and how to overcome them</li> <li>Focuses on physics teaching at university level</li> <li>Provides a non-technical description and explanation of emotion-related issues in physics education</li> <li>Focuses on innovations to maximize student confidence and reduce anxiety</li> <li>Explains how physics educators can pay attention to attitudes and anxieties in their teaching</li> <li>Explains how physics education researchers can assess how studies into attitudes can be broadened by connecting them with studies of science anxiety</li> </ul>

Creative Thinking In University Physics Education

by Doug Newton, Sam Nolan e Simon Rees

38,41€ + 10% CARD

 For physics researchers, creative thinking is used daily to solve challenges at the forefront of what is known about the Universe. In this book, the authors introduce concepts and ideas around creative thinking and provide practical advice and guidance for those who teach physics in universities to help them embed opportunities for creativity in their teaching and in their students learning. A range of voices from across the globe share their experiences as creative teachers. Opportunities are provided to reflect on the readers own practice and explore where their creativity will take them next. This broad interest book is for all who teach physics in Higher Education and undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and is valuable supplementary reading for professional development courses in creativity.Key Features<ul><li>Describes the nature of creative thinking and learning in physics, and why it is important</li></ul><ul><li>Acts as a guide for physics tutors in universities</li></ul><ul><li>Explains how to be more creative whilst teaching physics, both in terms of promoting creative thinking in students, and being creative in teaching and assessment</li></ul><ul><li>Includes practical examples and highlights how creative teaching can greatly enhance student learning experience</li></ul><ul><li>Underpinned by well-founded educational research, evidence-based practice and personal teaching experience</li></ul>

Effective Teaching In Large Stem Classes

38,41€ + 10% CARD

 This book provides an accessible and research-informed introduction to teaching large classes, aimed at teachers from across the STEM subjects, at all stages of their careers, who want to provide the most effective teaching and learning experiences for their students. A central theme throughout is that active learning is an important aspect of good-quality teaching. This is explored in detail through both practical guidance for implementing such techniques as well as through an accessible introduction to the theoretical and pedagogical issues that underpin its use, supported by case studies. The text provides an introduction for university teachers interested in using approaches such as the flipped classroom, and offers discussion on how to quantify activities within classrooms through observation tools, and what the future of teaching large classes might look like.Key Features<ul> <li>Provides a practical guide to effective teaching of large classes in STEM subjects at university level</li> <li>Takes an evidence-based approach and synthesises the theoretical and pedagogical issues that are important for teachers to understand</li> <li>Provides an overview of the literature supporting active learning approaches</li> <li>Discusses the flipped classroom, strategies for introducing interactivity into classes, and the use of technology such as electronic voting systems</li> <li>Includes the role of assessment in large classes</li> <li>Proposes a view of the future of large classes, including the role of hybrid teaching</li> </ul>

Assessment In University Physics Education

by Professor Peter C. Main

38,41€ + 10% CARD

 Assessment is an important part of any education programme. However, following tradition, many academics offer modules that are lecture-based with a formal unseen examination as the principal assessment. This book explores issues regarding student assessment in university-level physics education. The purposes of assessment and current issues are covered in depth alongside analysis of the different types of assessment applied in university physics departments, and suggestions on how assessment might be improved. With a firm emphasis on practical experience and numerous examples of current assessments, the book serves as a guide to academics new to assessment, as a refresher to more experienced academics who wish to think more deeply about what they are trying to achieve, and as a challenge to senior figures working on higher education infrastructure.

Problem-Based Approaches To Physics - Changing Perspectives In Higher Education

by Professor Derek Jeffrey Raine

152,70€ + 10% CARD

 The role of university is changing under the pressure of external, largely economic and cultural forces. The call to increase recruitment of students to STEM subjects is predicated on their strategic importance for the economy. However, the notion of university physics as a purely vocational training is attractive neither to students nor to their teachers, and is contrary to the ethos of the discipline. This book argues that problem-based approaches to learning offers the prospect of widening the appeal of physics to potential students and employers, while maintaining its intellectual rigour and providing increased support for employability. The text brings together innovations in university teaching based on learning theories, research and the authors experience, to present problem-based pedagogies for physics and, by implication, other disciplines. It looks at the practicalities of various implementations of problem-based approaches, developed from the original form of PBL, and at the costs and benefits as well as some of the potential pitfalls. It is valuable reading for curriculum designers of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and academics working in the field of physics education.
