    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Curriculum change within universities is usually slow and incremental. In contrast, Physics Education Research has matured rapidly over the past decades, giving us clear evidence about which pedagogies reliably improve student learning. The gap between what we know and what is routinely implemented in practice is often wide and continues to grow.

  2. 1078. From Scientist to Science Ambassador: A Graduate Course in Science Communication
    Jo-Anne Brown
    23/06/2026, 10:45
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    Being able to communicate effectively is essential to be a successful scientist. If you can’t communicate what you did, you may as well not have done it.  Effective science communication is also critical to bridge the ever-growing divide between those that “do” science and those that do not. Combatting the various echo chambers of anti-science is more important than ever, yet educational...

  3. 493. Construction de l'esprit scientifique par l'apprentissage des lois physiques: mauvais rôle de l'intelligence artificiel
    Loïc NGOU ZEUFO (Cégep Beauce-Appalaches)
    23/06/2026, 11:00
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    L’enseignement des lois régissant des phénomènes physiques se heurte à des représentations et perceptions qui freinent le développement de l’esprit scientifique des apprenants. En effet, les conceptions des apprenants ne sont pas généralement prises en compte dans le processus enseignement-apprentissage. Lorsqu’elles sont prises en compte, elles sont comme des erreurs à corriger ou à détruire...

  4. 556. Learning By Doing: Physics of Pilates
    Tetyana Antimirova (Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University))
    23/06/2026, 11:15
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    By treating the body as a mechanical system, this interactive workshop invites participants to examine how forces and torques manifest themselves during popular Pilates low-impact exercises that most students are already familiar with and therefore can relate to. Workshop participants will develop an intuitive understanding of center of mass and the equilibrium concepts. The full scope of the...
