Some subscribers to TIPS and TeachEdPsych might be interested in a post titled "Re: Confessions of a Converted Lecturer #5" [Hake (2010b)], an expansion, improvement, and correction to previous posts "Re: Confessions of a Converted Lecturer #2, #3, #4." The abstract reads:
************************************************ ABSTRACT: In response to "Re: Confessions of a Converted Lecturer" [Hake (2010a)]; UK physicist Lewis Elton (2010) wrote that: (a) he had abandoned the passive-student lecture in 1969, long before Eric Mazur, (b) his contributions to the debate over lectures had been neglected, and (c) he would appreciate anything I might be able to do to remedy "b". In this post I attempt to remedy the perceived neglect of Elton's contributions by quoting extensively from his article "Could undergraduate physics teaching be better?" [Elton (2004)]. ************************************************ To access the complete 38 kB post please click on <http://tinyurl.com/yapgbok>..
