Extractions: Students of science learn that many important things in the world happen to be invisible. Science teachers are learning that the factors shaping the way they teach are sometimes invisible as well. Teachers' beliefs about science and teaching, whether conscious or not, influence how and what their students learn. Project DISTIL, an acronym for Description and Interpretation of Science Teaching with Implications for Learning, has pinpointed teachers' underlying assumptions about content, learning, and teaching and how these beliefs influence their teaching. Principal investigators Peter Hewson and Robert Hollon recently studied the teaching practice and the underlying assumptions of 12 teachers of high school biology, chemistry, and physics. The National Science Foundation funded the project. Project staff interviewed the science teachers on five occasions over the course of a school year, listening for statements that seemed to encapsulate the teachers' thoughts on the nature of science, learning, and instruction. They also visited the teachers' classrooms to observe how they taught. One particular point of interest was how the teachers conducted student laboratories. Educators have long believed that laboratory work is important for two reasons; it helps create a scientifically literate citizenry and it enables some students to pursue a science career. Hewson and Hollon found that what shapes a science teacher's practice is not simply the content of the beliefs about practice but the relationship among those beliefs and their differing relationships to practice. It would be nice if teachers could sit in silence, engage in self-analysis, and produce an objective picture of their beliefs about practice. But it's unlikely that self-reflection would reveal these relationships, Hollon says, because most teachers work in isolation and have little help or incentive to engage in exploratory thinking and practices. Like most of us, they find reflection on their assumptions difficult.

Extractions: Home TIR BA Physics Program Physics Course Revision ... Other Faculty Two physics faculty each semester will team up with those from the school of education to visit and supervise student teachers. Several members of the department, most notably Art Hobson and William Oliver , are excited about this prospect. This will be considered a normal service commitment in the department. Hobson has a history of interest and involvement in how science is taught, and is very familiar with the science standards. Oliver is the chair of the department and sees this as growing naturally out of his visits to schools for recruitment efforts. Further, he sees it as a natural extension that when we make recruitment trips to schools around the state we can arrange to bring materials and engage students in an inquiry-based activity in an elementary or middle school class in the district visited. The department will consider these materials an operating expense, and these activities departmental service. The Department of Mathematics has suggested that they revise the calculus sequence to better support the physics sequence, and better serve all of our students. They wish to do so with input and suggestions from physics. At the beginning of the summer of 2002, the Department of Mathematics was given a copy of the syllabi for the first two semesters of University Physics. During this first year

Extractions: School : Evergreen High School PROJECT DESCRIPTION I am working at Evergreen High School with Steve Miguelez on a project entitled "Integrating physics into 9th grade science". The Highline School District reevaluated their science curriculum to address the WASLs. As a result, they have created 9th and 10th grade integrated science courses. The goal being that by the time they are done with 10th grade, they will have learned earth science, biology, chemistry and physics, all subjects that will be tested on the WASLs. I am focusing on helping Mr. Miguelez integrate physics into his 9th grade integrated science curriculum. I think integrating physics into the other sciences is extremely important. Too often, science is taught as separate subjects and there is little continuity between the various sciences. This has been historically true within the scientific community as well. However, this is beginning to change as fields such as biophysics, geophysics, geochemistry, and biochemistry receive more attention. By showing these connections to students, it will give them a better understanding of the sciences and hopefully get more students interested in science. Physics is traditionally taught in a very rigid way that turns many students off. I hope that by integrating physics into geology, chemistry and biology that students will become more excited about physics and maybe learn some of the great problem solving skills that physics has to offer.

Extractions: Davis, California 95616 How We Got to Where we Are. Our Perspective on Learning. Currently, we are preparing for full-scale implementation of this new course in the fall of 1996 at the University of California, Davis, having completed the second of two full-year trials of 100+ students in the spring of 1996. We provide a brief overview of the project in what follows. Our Goals for The Course. During the period from 1990 through 1994, we experimented with limited changes to the laboratories of the 1200+ student per year college physics course for biological science majors at UC Davis. While many of these changes produced improvements in the students' grasp of physical concepts, we concluded that even greater improvements were possible by redesigning the whole course. We considered modifications to each of the major aspects of the traditional course. These aspects included the gross structure of the course (how much time is spent and what students actually do in lecture, discussion, and laboratory) as well as how students are assessed, what physics content is included, how that content is sequenced, and the type of learning resources students use.
