Links to other Physics Education Pages
Some Education Research Groups:
This is not meant to be a comprehensive list! Many of the sites below
have much more up-to-date lists of PER groups. Below are just a few with
which/whom we have personal connections here at CU.
-
Iowa State.
They have a nice (and probably the most comprehensive and up-to-date) set of links to other PER groups there, too.
- University of Maryland .
Lots of useful pages,
including most of their publications, "challenge problems", Maryland
Physics Expectations Survey, etc. ) They have a number of more detailed
"lists of links" than we could possibly provide here, see for example
their list of
per homepages,
curriculum
materials , and
online papers .
-
University of Minnesota .
Their main focus is on Context Rich Problems and Collaborative Learning.
-
University of Washington .
They started this game, with research into student mis/preconceptions.
The source of the recitation "tutorial" method.
- Mazur's Group (Harvard).
Project Galileo: Concept tests, large lecture techniques, and more.
Here is the link to construct a web page using Mazur's Interactive Learning
Tookit"
- North Carolina State.
SCALE-UP, the modified introductory classroom approach at UNC
(Bob Beichner's group).
- And more: e.g.
Arizona State University.
Other Education Pages:
- Valeria Otero at our CU school of education is doing science
education research.
- Richard Hake's
research in physics education page (with many useful links and
references)
- Elaine Seymour's
"revitalizing science education" page.
-
Collaborative Learning .
Detailed instructions specifically targeted to forming and using groups in
classrooms.
- Classroom Assessment
Detailed instructions regarding
a variety of different tools to use in the classroom. A great place to
learn about a variety of novel classroom techniques!
- SALG
This is the place to set up a survey of student opinions regarding your
teaching methods. It's a nice tool, quick and easy to set up for you and
for your students.
- TextRev
Similar to SALG but even quicker and simpler, this site is dedicated purely
to setting you up with a student survey regarding your textbook.
Do you know of a useful link our colleagues might be interested in? Let me
know and I'll add it in!
