Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum: Research on Scientific, Reflective, and Critical Thinking in the Physics Classroom

Physics education researchers are examining a broad spectrum of abilities that can be categorized as scientific thinking; critical thinking; and reflective thinking. By focusing on research related to instructional goals that transcend specific subject matter, PERC 2010 will provide the field an opportunity to highlight progress in this area and to identify important avenues for continued work.

Contributed Posters can be set up starting at about 1:30 pm on Wednesday. The posters will be available during breakfast and throughout the day on Thursday. They must be removed by the end of the PERC on Thursday, at 5:30 pm.
