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

物理学(13)。这个项目为初中/高中三个学期的光学课程的第一学期创建了一个互动工作室教学。它适应并实施了其他人成功开发的动手、互动、同行教学方法，以及俄勒冈州立大学开发的物理范例的各个方面。互动工作室教学在高中物理课程中的应用是一种新颖的方法。光学工作室的一个重要方面是迷你探索/迷你讲座/迷你实验室相结合的教学。这包括一个非常简短的了解(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)。接下来是用光学设备(迷你实验室)进行的类似的短时间实验，以说明并放大迷你讲座。学生们以四人一组的方式在迷你实验室工作，鼓励同伴指导，而讲师则访问学生小组，提供直接的互动指导。许多迷你实验室都与家庭作业有关，这有助于将概念技能和解决问题的技能结合起来。每两个小时的演播室时间都会进行一些迷你探索/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.
