service at their university. Instruction style can vary as well with seminars, workshopsand stand-alone courses being used to teach RDM skills. Who teaches RDM can vary just asmuch as the audience: librarians teaching alone or in teams, librarian and faculty combinations,librarian and IT professionals, and any combination of the above including guest speakers. Often,there is preparatory work that may include interviews, laboratory reviews, surveys or other toolsthat aid in getting informative information to facilitate the work toward RDM instruction. Inorder to illustrate the benefits of the team approach to RDM instruction and the trend towardcredit classes, Table 1 compares the course type, date, instructor method, preparatory work andthe

the students’own experiences.Research activityThe greatest change proposed and eventually implemented relates to the teaching process andhow the teacher-facilitator presents the physics concept. In the pre-existing paradigm, teachersintroduce the theory of a new concept prior to running an experiment or discussing contextualapplications of the theory. The physics laboratory objective is solely to verify or support thepresented theory. Teachers then encourage students to extrapolate implementation contextsthrough discussions that follow the lab experiment. The focus of the student lab report is ontheory, procedures, data collection and applying that data to the theoretical equations. Reportconclusions recount how well the experiment matched
