REPRESENTATIONS IN PHYSICS INSTRUCTION

Catalog description

In this course, students will integrate pedagogical knowledge with content knowledge in physics. Specifically, students will learn how to plan instruction in physics and physical science using research-based tools that target state and national science standards. Students in this class will learn what productive representations their students can use to assist them in bridging phenomena, words and mathematics. The course will focus on cross-cutting concepts in motion, forces, and energy/momentum. This course is designed for pre- and in-service teachers.
