P-09 What’s Important to Us? Understanding Cultural Differences between Science Disciplines
Abstract
By identifying the different cultural aspects and learning styles of the departmental disciplines that take General Physics I hope to foster a better understanding of how our students learn and to build more effective teaching principles for the Physics Small Group Learning Program. To develop a list of disciplinary areas of emphasis I took notes during a number of conversations with both students and faculty in Math, Physics, Biology and Chemistry. From these important areas of difference I have chosen to focus on the Biological emphasis of system discovery as a guiding principle for the creation of a series of interrelated Small Group Lessons.
