Education Research at the Boundary of Physics and Biology
written by
Juan Burciaga, Catherine H. Crouch, Vashti Sawtelle, and Kimberly D. Tanner
Attached are the presentations from the AAPT Summer 2013 Invited Session on Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences (IPLS). For a number of years a growing portion of the physics community has been investing time, energy and expertise into revising the IPLS course. There are a number of resources for physics faculty to draw upon for alternative course paradigms, more detailed evaluations of what is or is not working in their IPLS courses, and models of combining PER and BER (Biology Education Research) efforts to understand effective teaching and learning in the IPLS. These talks provide an overview of some examples of reform in the IPLS and also highlight ongoing transformative efforts.
You may access the talks under the "View the primary documents attached to this resource" link.
