Beschreibung

A fundamental approach to teaching scientific reasoning skillsIn Thinking in Physics, Vincent Coletta creates a new curriculum that helps instructors reach students who have the greatest difficulty learning physics. The book presents evidence that students' reasoning ability is strongly related to their learning and describes ways for students to improve their reasoning to achieve a better understanding of basic physics principles.

Über den Autor

Vince Coletta earned his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Notre Dame, where his graduate research advisor was Gerald Jones, an academic descendent of Uhlenbeck and Boltzmann. For over 30 years he has been a Professor of Physics at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where he teaches introductory physics and courses in electromagnetic fields, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. In this book Professor Coletta describes his Thinking in Physics curriculumand provides evidence for its effectiveness indeveloping students’ scientific reasoning skills, understanding of physics concepts, and problem solving skills.
