Research Foundations
Model-Based Inquiry
A method of instruction that helps students to build and revise conceptual models that explain phenomena.
Problem-Based Learning
PBL focuses on structuring classroom lessons on interesting problems or case studies.
Mathematical Modeling
Lessons based on how physicists understand the world - by building mathematical models.
Publications & Presentations
We've published some of these ideas (and many others) in journals such as The Physics Teacher, the Journal of College Science Teaching, and The Science Teacher.
We also do workshops for college and secondary teachers at professional conferences and district in-service/professional development days.
