| Abstract Title: | Encouraging Scientific Discourse in the Introductory Physics Classroom |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | One of the goals of the active-learning based introductory physics sequence for biologists at California State University San Marcos is to improve the students' ability to engage in scientific discourse. Structuring a class to promote such interaction, and facilitating the resulting student-student and instructor-student discourse is not trivial, as the role of the instructor and student is far from traditional. This poster will consider issues associated with teaching in such an environment, including a focus on instructor's role in best facilitating such discourse. |
