Abstract:
|
At Kansas State University
we have altered our calculus-based physics course to create the New
Studio format for teaching fundamental physics to large undergraduate
classes. This format retains the large lecture component but combines
recitation and laboratory instruction into the New Studio. Faculty who
have taught traditional recitations in the past are now teaching in a
mode to which they are unaccustomed. How they have responded to this
change to hands-on, inquiry-based teaching will be discussed.
