Developing An Inquiry-Based Physical Science Course For Preservice Elementary Teachers, Zdeslav Hrepic Jan 2006

Developing An Inquiry-Based Physical Science Course For Preservice Elementary Teachers, Zdeslav Hrepic

Faculty Bibliography

Preservice elementary teachers should experience science through inquiry in order to be effective in teaching science. In addition, inquiry as a mode of teaching is mandated by Kansas and National Science Education Standards. As a result of the No Child Left Behind Act, teachers also need to be prepared to include basic skills in reading and mathematics in all instruction. To address these issues, Fort Hays State University (FHSU) is adapting and extending the NSF-developed teacher enhancement materials Operation Primary Physical Science (OPPS) for use in a physical science course for preservice elementary teachers. This paper presents main features of …

The digitization project included the development of a web-accessible database containing descriptive information and thumbnail images of the photographs. The history, design, implementation, and future of the database and search system will be discussed.


Identifying Students' Models Of Sound Propagation, Zdeslav Hrepic Jan 2002

Identifying Students' Models Of Sound Propagation, Zdeslav Hrepic

Faculty Bibliography

We investigated students’ mental models of sound propagation in introductory physics classes. In addition to the scientifically accepted wave model, students used the “entity” model. In this model sound is a self-standing entity, different from the medium, and propagating through it. All other observed alternative models are composed of entity and wave ingredients, but at the same time they are distinct from each of the constituent models. We called these models “hybrid” models. We will discuss how students use these models in various contexts before and after instruction.


Students' Concepts In Understanding Of Sound, Zdeslav Hrepic Jan 2001

Students' Concepts In Understanding Of Sound, Zdeslav Hrepic

Faculty Bibliography

The article describes alternative concepts in understanding of sound observed among students at the elementary, high school and college level. The research confirmed some previously found alternative concepts and pointed to several others. A majority of the difficulties were found to be common to all levels. Also the percentage of students, who express alternative concepts, is nearly the same at all educational levels. However the percentage of students who clearly don’t have alternative concepts, in general increases with educational level. One set of observed difficulties, as a whole, compose conceptually structured and coherent, but naive picture on propagation of sound. …

Nurturing Professionalism: Here's How., James Brewbaker

Faculty Bibliography

Through specific practices in methods classes, prospective teachers can be taught the benefits of professional activism. One such strategy is to provide students with complimentary copies of "Language Arts" and ask them to read two or three articles that especially interest them. Another strategy asks students to read, select, and submit one or two articles from the "English Journal" that could be included in a class anthology of effective teaching practices. Still another assignment requires students to offer solutions/suggestions for problems raised in "Classroom Practices," a series published by the National Councilof Teachers of English. A procedure that calls for …

When Teacher Educator Practices What Is Preached: Peer Teaching And Evaluation In A Field-Based English Methods Course., James Brewbaker

Faculty Bibliography

A teacher educator with an over-sized class describes an experiment with peer teaching. The class of 'fifteen students was divided into groups of three, defined as "mutual support groups;" with each member contributing to and responsible for the performance of others. The first task assigned these "trios" was to identify desirable competencies, compare them with the other small groups in the class, and finally arrive at mutually agreed upon goals upon which evaluation of performance could be based. In the field these students were assigned to different schools so the group could receive maximum exposure to different teachers, students, and …
