Improving Conceptual Understanding and Problem Solving Skills in Introductory Physics Courses Using the Socratic Dialogue Method Christos Valiotis Antelope Valley College, Lancaster, CAAbstractIntroductory physics courses are required for all engineering majors. Often, engineering studentspractice problem solving for the first time in these courses. Over the years, Physics EducationResearch (PER) has developed a number of curricula that have been proven successful inincreasing conceptual understanding in physics concepts. But questions still remain about theireffectiveness in improving problem solving abilities. The ability to think critically and achievean

In addressing this problem, thenational leadership of Afghanistan is working to reinvigorate the country’s university system.Part of that effort has been the establishment of the National Military Academy of Afghanistan(NMAA); a four-year, bachelor degree granting institution modeled after the military academiesof the United States.

valley and broaden the use of evidence-based practices in engineering classrooms. In the majority of cases, these efforts are focused on particular interventions, e.g. encouraging instructors to incorporate in-class group problem solving or to use a particular technology tool3. While the particular intervention may prove useful for some instructors and some courses, it is not always chosen with the needs or challenges of the instructor in mind. We argue that efforts to broaden use of innovative instructional techniques can be more successful when faculty have ownership of how change is implemented in their classes (rather than having strategies mandated). Higher education faculty members do have significant autonomy in their teaching, and we

However,they often lack guidance and time for finding these materials. Utilizing our specialized skills infinding resources as librarians, we developed the Representation in STEM (RIS) course toprovide resources and guidance on finding and using more representative materials across STEMdisciplines. The course is comprised of pages that can be adopted as micro-lessons indisciplinary courses, lowering the barrier for faculty to participate in more inclusive instruction.To ensure RIS is as useful as possible for faculty and students, pages from the disciplines andspecial topics

Two programmers can finish a task in little over half theelapsed time that a single programmer takes. And the quality of the code—measured in terms ofabsence of defects—is much higher.In the past few years, pair programming has made inroads into industry and into programmingcourses. However, it has not typically been used in courses that teach subjects other thanprogramming or software engineering, nor has it been used in the analysis of experimentalresults.
