Some subscribers to TIPS might be interested in an article "What Might Psychologists Learn from the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Physics?" [Hake (2014)]
The ABSTRACT reads: ******************************************************* In this article I: (a) note that some physicists have been engaged in the "Scholarship of Teaching and Learning" (SoTL) for over four decades; (b) discuss evidence from SoTL in physics for the approximately two-standard-deviation superiority in average pre-to-post-course normalized gains in conceptual understanding for "interactive engagement" over "traditional" passive-student lecture methods; (c) list some crucial operational definitions; (d) present accolades from biologists, economists, and mathematicians for SoTL in physics; (e) discuss an apparent deficiency of SoTL in psychology: the missing "Psychology Concept Inventory"; (f) list 14 hard won lessons from SoTL in physics that may be of value to psychologists; (g) conclude from all the above that it's conceivable that psychologists might learn something from SoTL in physics. ****************************************************** To access the complete 312 kB article please click on <http://bit.ly/1wN58pS>.
