IHMC CmapToolsTEACHING AND LEARNING METHODSThis class will use the constructivist rather than the behaviorist approach of learning. It aims to develop deep learning (deep understandingand life-long retention) and minimize on surface learning (memorization). This course will employ a combination of interactive lecture andcooperative learning technique, a form of active learning method utilizing the Prediction-Observation-Discussion-Synthesis (PODS)Learning Cycle. Volumes of research in science learning have concluded that students employing active-learning not only have significantlybetter understanding and retention of the subject matter but also will be able to solve problems involving numerical calculations with betterapproach and more exact solution.Hence, conceptual knowledge will be strongly stressed especially during peer group discussions before getting involved with end -ofchapterexercises. Problems requiring numerical results can easily be solved with full confidence ONLY if students have sound scientificreasoning abilities encompassing all the ideas and concepts. For this reason, peer discussions (cooperative learning) will be used alongwith concept maps and reading summaries before a formal interactive lecture (reinforcement) is given.In addition, other teaching and learning tools such as tools to identify learning styles, initial beliefs (common-sense beliefs ormisconceptions) about electricity and magnetism, will be used to probe cognitive skill readiness of the students (metacognition).Furthermore, digitized lectures, samples of solutions to end-of-chapter problems, simulations and other teaching and learning tools will bemade available on the internet for students to view, download, print and share with their peers. Information and Communication Tools (ICT)will be fully incorporated in developing students’ understanding in the subject matter and as part of life-long learning in becomingknowledgeable and autonomous workers (k-workers) in the information age.Home FSG500 PHY407 TOPLecturesLecture 1-chap18: pithball-pdf (for Lecture 2-1 Chap18pdf (for printing)Lecture 2-2 Chap18 pdf (forChap24&26-DrJJ - 2 slides: 6Chap18-Cutnell Chap21-Cutnell Chap22-Cutnellprinting)printing)slidesChap27&29-DrJJ - 2 slides: 6Lecture 1-pithball-pps (shows animation)Lecture 2-1 Chap18-forces-pps Chap19-Cutnell Chap21a-DrJJ Chap22-DrJJslidesLecture 2-2 Chap18-forces-pps Chap20-Cutnell Chap21b-DrJJ Chap30-DrJJ - 2 slides: 6 slidesCourse Objectives Lesson Plan (pdf) Assessment References Lectures Sample Problems/Quiz/TestHome FSG500 PHY407 TOPCutnell's 7th edition-sample problems solved/KEY to Quizzes & TestsSample of Solved Problems With Reasoning KEY to quizzes & TestsChap 18 Chap 21 Quiz 1 Test 1Chap 19 Chap 22 Quiz 2 Test 2 Test2-020409-KeyChap 20 Your MARKS NOW Test 3 Test3-020409-KeyFinals Oct2006Finals Oct2006keyCourse Objectives Lesson Plan (pdf) Assessment References Lectures Sample Problems/Quiz/TestHome FSG500 PHY407 TOP
