Physics Workshop Tutorials: Views Of Life-Science Students, Roger A. Lewis

Faculty of Engineering - Papers (Archive)

[extract] Physics workshop tutorials, their implementation, and the purpose of this research: Workshop tutorials involve small groups of students using hands-on demonstrations and answering questions under the auspices of a tutor. Physics education research underpinned the development of workshop tutorials (Sharma, Millar and Seth 1999; Wilson, Peseta, Sharma and Millar 2002). Greater attendance at workshop tutorials is correlated with better examination marks (Sharma et al. 1999).
