    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    After 22 years of teaching first-year university introductory physics, this past year marks the foreseeable end to this aspect of my academic career with my move to become a Graduate Studies Dean and AVP Research. This milestone provides opportunity to reflect upon this journey, and hope to provide some useful insight to others of you who remain intimately embroiled in the challenge of being...

  2. 2270. Bringing sound pedagogy beyond the first and second year
    Dr Sean Stotyn (University of Calgary)
    13/06/2018, 16:00
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    A substantial amount of the evidence-based pedagogies developed for lower level physics classrooms can be adapted to senior undergraduate and even graduate level classes. In this talk I will describe the use of in-class worksheets to foster deeper understanding and content proficiency in senior level electromagnetism, senior level special relativity, and graduate level classical mechanics...

    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    When assessing student performance, some educators choose to discard the worst tests written by the student. The mean of the remaining tests is taken as opposed to the mean of all tests written. Naturally, this process will result in some expected grade inflation. In our paper we provide a model for the expected grade inflation in the case when the student’s test-writing ability changes over...

  4. 1947. Measuring Scientific Literacy
    Dr Ian Blokland (University of Alberta, Augustana Campus)
    13/06/2018, 16:30
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    In conjunction with a new interdisciplinary, experiential science course for non-science majors, we have developed the Augustana Interdisciplinary Scientific Literacy Evaluation (AISLE) to measure gains in scientific skills and attitudes. This presentation will outline the context of AISLE, its development criteria, calibration data, and upcoming analyses.
