Improving engineering physics teaching learning from physics education research

Year: 2000
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Students come to our courses with a personal theory of physics. Most students do not change theirpersonal theories during a traditionally taught physics course. In this paper I will give some reasons forthis and also highlight some successful active-engagement curricula who help students to modify theirpersonal theories of physics and thus help them acquiring a good functional understanding of physics.
