(Grand Valley State University)
Ongoing physics education research (PER) has demonstrated that
physics majors-not just introductory-level students-encounter
persistent difficulties in understanding physics concepts and in
making appropriate connections between the physics and
mathematics. In this ``mini-workshop'' college/university
instructors will learn about of PER-tested tutorial materials
designed to enhance learning in intermediate mechanics.
Participants will obtain firsthand experience with selected
tutorials and learn how they can be tailored for a variety of
course formats for upper-division mechanics.
