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

物理(13)。本项目为三学期的初级/高级光学课程的第一学期创建了一个互动工作室教学。它适应并实施了由他人成功开发的实践、互动、同侪指导的方法，以及俄勒冈州立大学开发的物理学范式。在高水平物理课程中应用互动工作室教学是一种新颖的方法。光学工作室的一个重要方面是教学的迷你探索/迷你讲座/迷你实验室组合。这包括一个非常简短的认识（迷你探索），然后是一个关于光学某些方面的简短讲座（迷你讲座）。接下来是类似的短时间的光学设备实验（迷你实验室），以说明和放大迷你讲座。学生们以四人为一组在迷你实验室工作，这鼓励了同伴指导，而讲师则访问学生小组，提供直接的互动指导。许多迷你实验与家庭作业问题有关，这有助于将概念和解决问题的技能结合起来。在每两个小时的课程中，会有一些小型探索/小型讲座/小型实验结合相关的问题。

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.
