Hugo Rossi Lecture Series – Oct 7, 2015

by CSME | Aug 28, 2015 | Seminar

Why Doesn’t It Work Here?
A Systems Approach to Physics Instruction

Ken Heller, University of Minnesota

Introductory physics is the gateway to modern technical professions. That student diversity leads adventurous physics instructors to try a new pedagogy or technology.  After a few years the course reverts to its original form. We all recognize that a course is a system with students, instructors, disciplinary culture, content, institutional constraints, and stakeholders as essential and interlocking components. This talk will give examples of lasting change to seed a discussion about improving student learning and identifying the elements in that complex system we call a course.

Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2015
Time: 4pm reception (refreshments and music), 4:30pm lecture

Location: Chemistry’s Thatcher Seminar Room – TBBC 4630

 

Kenneth Heller is the College of Science and Engineering Distinguished Professor of Physics and Morse Alumni Distinguished Teacher Professor at University of Minnesota.
