Technology-Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL)

Peter Dourmashkin fra Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) fortæller om TEAL-projektet

Join a 3 hour interactive physics NAFADISE workshop with Peter Dourmashkin, one of the creators of the TEAL (Technology-Enhanced Active Learning) project.
Target group: Physicists at university level, physics teachers at high school level and science education researchers.

Dette NAFADISE-arrangement gennemføres som en tre timer lang fysikworkshop med Peter Dourmashkin, en af TEAL-projektets (Technology-Enhanced Active Learning) skabere.
Målgruppe: Fysikere og fysiklærere på hhv. universitets- og gymnasieniveau samt naturfagsdidaktikere.

Program 

In the workshop Dourmashkin will tell the audience about the TEAL-project and related educational issues in the first session and then - followed by a short break - apply them during a hands-on workshop involving group work and the use of laptops. 

I første session fortæller Dourmashkin tilhørerne om TEAL-projektets baggrund og om relaterede uddannelsesmæssige emner. Efter en kort pause inddrages publikum i anden session i en interaktiv workshop med gruppearbejde og anvendelse af PCer.

The workshop will be conducted in English / Foredraget holdes på engelsk

Time and place / Tid og sted:  
8. juni 2009, kl. 13:00-16:00, Niels Bohr Institutet, Auditorium C, Blegdamsvej 17, 2100 Kbh. Ø.  (https://www.nbi.ku.dk/kontakt/)

The workshop is open to all interested parties, however, a maximum of 30 people can attend. If you wish to participate, please send an e-mail to Lene Møller Madsen.

Abstract 

Together with colleagues at MIT Dourmashkin has reformed the teaching of freshman physics with a new mix of pedagogy, technology, and classroom design. A typical class incorporates lecture, recitation, and hands-on experiments in one presentation. Instructors deliver 20-minute lectures interspersed with discussion questions, visualizations, and pencil-and-paper exercises. Students use animated simulations designed to help them visualize concepts, and carry out experiments in groups during class. Instructors periodically ask concept questions, which students discuss and answer through an electronic polling system with handheld voting keypads. Instructors no longer lecture from a fixed location, but walk around with a wireless microphone talking to students about their work, assessing their understanding, facilitating interaction, and promoting better learning.
