| PRESENTATIONS: (recent) ASSOCIATION OF SCIENCE TEACHERS EDUCATORS (ASTE), 2007: Toward Learning and Understanding Electricity: Challenging Persistent Misconceptions (PowerPoint) When students enter physics, electronics or engineering courses, they arrive with many notions about the physical world in general and electricity specifically. These ideas may be a result of previous experience, everyday language, or prior study, and they may agree with the explanations provided by experts. But too often, the preconceptions or alternative conceptions are misconceptions that have resulted from “common sense” explanations, instruction by teachers, or language lacking precision or accuracy. Once misconceptions are embedded, it is clear that they are persistent, comforting, and highly resistant to change. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICS TEACHERS (AAPT), 2007: Development of a Standards-Based Classroom Observation Instrument (PowerPoint) As part of the NSF-funded Oregon Collaborative for Excellence in the Preparation of Teachers (OCEPT), an instrument was developed for observing undergraduate science and mathematics faculty as well as K-12 student teachers. The instrument has been used to determine the relation between methods and strategies used by faculty and subsequently by their students once teaching in the public school. The instrument (Oregon Teacher Observation Protocol or OTOP) is provided here in both the numerical (research) form and a version on which the assessment is part of a continuous range.
