The Physics DepartmentIs the process of learning physics merely a download of information onto blank hard drives? Or do students, who arrive with a wealth of prior knowledge and diverse learning strategies, engage with concepts, instructors, and fellow students to construct an understanding of the physical world? In our new physics education research program at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트, we explore strategies for teaching physics to enhance student learning.
