An Investigation On The Impact Of Implementing Visual Quantum Mechanics On Student Learning And Student Instructor Beliefs, Lawrence Escalada
An Investigation On The Impact Of Implementing Visual Quantum Mechanics On Student Learning And Student Instructor Beliefs, Lawrence Escalada
Faculty Publications
Aspects of the Visual Quantum Mechanics instructional materials have been adapted and implemented into a university physical science course for pre-service elementary education majors and various high school physics classrooms. These materials utilize a learning cycle pedagogy involving interactive, simulation computer programs and inexpensive devices to introduce basic quantum physics ideas within the context of fundamental physics concepts. A brief description of how these materials and strategies were adapted and implemented in high school classrooms will be provided. The results found on student conceptual learning and student/instructor attitudes and beliefs will also be briefly discussed.

Abbott H. Thayer's Anticipation Of A Computer-Based Method Of Working, Roy R. Behrens
Faculty Publications
This article describes the practice of Abbott H. Thayer (1849-1921) of working on several copies of the same painting, taking each to a different conclusion. It compares that method to the current computer-based practice of using the SAVE AS command to create copies of a digital artwork or design, which can then also be taken to different conclusions.
