Dr. Greg Feiden and Dr. Sarah Formica, in background, teach the pedagogy class to their Learning Assistants (LA) on Tuesday nights. The pedagogy class instructs the LAs how to teach physics. The LA ...
For generations, teaching physics has been more about manipulating math problems than learning the basic principles that guide the discipline. That’s precisely why, according to a growing body of ...
Leo Shmuylovich knows a lot about how tutoring can take a student from confused to confident. The Washington University graduate student has worked as a tutor for several test-preparation companies ...
Acceleration and thermal energy are physics concepts that can be applied to stock car racing. Jon Feingersh/The Image Bank via Getty Images America has a physics problem. Research shows that access to ...
You can do it: on-the-job training is now an option for those wishing to join the teaching profession. “Before I began my GCSE, physics was my least favourite science. I didn’t have a clue why anyone ...
Physicists have used machine learning to teach a computer how to predict the outcomes of quantum experiments. The results could prove to be essential for testing future quantum computers. Physics ...
What do dog treats and chasing squirrels have to do with quantum mechanics? Much more than you might imagine, as Orzel explains in this fun introduction to modern physics based on a “series of ...
A team of researchers from MIT recently tapped the amazing potential of the human brain to develop an AI model that understands physics as good as some humans. And by some, we mean three-month-old ...
