Infos

In this DVD, Harvard University physicist Eric Mazur demonstrates the use of Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time Teaching.The DVD serves as an interactive workshop that can be used by individual teachers or in group training sessions to learn about these techniques. New and experienced teachers can navigate at their own pace and focus on what interests them most. This DVD will also help you implement interactive teaching in your own classroom.

Eric Mazur holds a triple appointment as Harvard College Professor, Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics, and Professor of Physics at Harvard University. An internationally recognized scientist and researcher, he leads a vigorous research program in optical physics and supervises one of the largest research groups in the Physics Department at Harvard University.   After obtaining a Ph.D. degree in experimental physics at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, Dr. Mazur came to Harvard University in 1982. In 1984 he joined the faculty and obtained tenure six years later. Dr. Mazur has made important contributions to spectroscopy, light scattering, and studies of electronic and structural events in solids that occur on the femtosecond time scale.   In 1988 he was awarded a Presidential Young Investigator Award. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and has been named APS Centennial Lecturer during the Society's centennial year. Dr. Mazur has held appointments as Visiting Professor or Distinguished Lecturer at the University of Leuven in Belgium, National Taiwan University in Taiwan, Carnegie Mellon University, and Hong Kong University.   In addition to his work in optical physics, Dr. Mazur is interested in education, science policy, outreach, and the public perception of science. He believes that better science education for all–not just science majors–is vital for continued scientific progress. To this end, Dr. Mazur devotes part of his research group's effort to education research and finding verifiable ways to improve science education. In 1990 he began developing Peer Instruction a method for teaching large lecture classes interactively. Dr. Mazur's teaching method has developed a large following, both nationally and internationally, and has been adopted across many science disciplines.   Dr. Mazur has served on numerous committees and councils, including advisory and visiting committees for the National Science Foundation, has chaired and organized national and international scientific conferences, and presented for the Presidential Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology. He serves as consultant to industry in the electronics and telecommunications industry.   Dr. Mazur is author or co-author of 191 scientific publications. He has also written on education and is the author of Peer Instruction: A User's Manual (Prentice Hall, 1997), a book that explains how to teach large lecture classes interactively.   Eric Mazur lives in Concord, Massachusetts with his wife Angela, and children Natalie, Marc, and Sophie.  

Inhalt

1. Getting Started: An Overview

The documentary “FROM QUESTIONS TO CONCEPTS” provides an introduction to “Interactive Teaching.” Join Eric Mazur and his students as they work towards a deeper understanding of the basic physics concepts taught in his course. “How It All Fits Together” shows how the PI and JiTT techniques complement each other.

 

2. Just-in-Time Teaching

Learn how JiTT gives you valuable pre-class feedback from your students that allows you to address their understanding and any possible confusion directly.

 

3. Peer Instruction

Walk step-by-step through the implementation of PI, and explore strategies for integrating PI into your classroom.Use the interactive “Try-It-Out” section to experience the student’s side of the question-and-answer approach in a Peer Instruction lecture.

 

4. FAQs

Will interactive teaching work in your classroom? How effective is it? How do students react? This section provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions and includes research data as well as faculty and student reactions to the techniques.
