Track
Research Proposal / Learning Theories and Pedagogy
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to increase the level of student’s retention by using the prior knowledge. In order to overcome this situation, prior to instruction students received a handout with the operational definition of a new physics concept, followed by a series of questions related to the component concepts and then they have to answer several questions related with these component concepts. By using this sort of questioning students have the opportunity of make a review of the physics concepts. During this interactive session participants will prepare a handout with questions for students to answer.
