Implementation of the Interactive Studio Concept to an Upper Level Physics Course: Studio Optics

物理学（13）.该项目创建了一个互动的工作室指令的初级/高级水平，三个学期，光学课程的第一学期。它适应和实施动手，互动，同侪教学方法成功地开发了其他和物理学的范例方面在俄勒冈州州立大学开发。交互式工作室教学应用于高层次的物理课程是新颖的。光学工作室的一个重要方面是一个迷你探索/迷你讲座/迷你实验室组合的指令。这包括一个非常简短的认识（迷你探索），然后是一个简短的讲座（迷你讲座）在光学的一些方面。接下来是一个类似的短期实验与光学设备（迷你实验室），说明和放大的迷你讲座。学生们四人一组在迷你实验室工作，这鼓励同伴指导，而讲师访问学生小组提供直接，互动的指导。许多迷你实验室与家庭作业问题有关，有助于联合收割机结合概念和解决问题的技能。每两个小时的工作室时间进行一些迷你探索/迷你讲座/迷你实验室与相关问题的组合。

Physics (13). This project creates an interactive studio instruction for the first semester of a junior / senior level, three-semester, optics course. It adapts and implements hands-on, interactive, peer-instruction methods developed successfully by others and aspects of Paradigms in Physics developed at Oregon State University. Application of interactive studio instruction to an upper level physics course is novel. An important aspect of the optics studio is a mini-exploration / mini-lecture / mini-lab combination for instruction. This involves a very brief acquaintance (mini-exploration) followed by a short lecture (mini-lecture) over some aspect of optics. This is followed by a similarly short period of experimentation with optical equipment (mini-lab) that illustrates and amplifies the mini-lecture. Students work on the mini-lab in groups of four, which encourages peer instruction while the lecturer visits the student groups to provide direct, interactive instruction. Many of the mini-labs are related to homework problems which helps to combine conceptual and problem solving skills. A few mini-exploration / mini-lecture / mini-lab combinations with associated problems are performed each two-hour studio period.
