UVA Virtual Lab: Resistors. 2nd International Analogy Conference. The 2nd International Analogy Conference is a successor of the first such conference, which took place in July 1998 in Sofia at NBU and resulted in The Analogical Mind, edited by Gentner, Holyoak & Kokinov (MIT Press, 2001).
Ten years after this highly successful event, we are planning a new conference to discuss the key ideas in the field and to analyze the progress that has been made over the past decade. Topics to be covered by the conference (not an exclusive list): Methods and Materials - PER User's Guide. Kansas State University Physics Education Research Group. MOSEM² Results.

Contents: Fulltext Paper Submission How to Prepare your Paper Reviewer Guidelines Fulltext Paper Submission You are required to submit your fulltext paper through the AbstractAgent System: The Deadline for submissions is November 2, 2012 Manuscripts will be reviewed by the members of the International Scientific Committee and invited experts on other subjects.
The review process will be completed by January 30, 2013. The guidelines given to referees are at the bottom of this page. How to Prepare your Paper The paper should include a title, author(s), the institution(s), and e-mail address of the corresponding author; an abstract, text, and references. Writing your paper If you are reporting a study presenting empirical research, then it should contain more or less the following five sections: 1. The results should be clear and author interpretations/inferences/assertions should be highlighted as they are. 1. 2. 3. Figure 1. 4. 5. Books Author's name(s). Total points available: 14. Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research. Teaching Resources. News, multimedia, and activities related to the physics education world Preparing High School Physics Teachers By taking on a significant part of the education of high school physics teachers, physics departments in the US can inspire their students and help ensure a scientifically educated population.

Young people need to be introduced to science’s full riches. I love biology, and nothing in my four decades as a professional biological scientist has given as much satisfaction as seeing that spark of passion for the subject ignited in a young person. So it should be no surprise that nothing frustrates me more than to see that spark extinguished by misguided educators and mind-numbing textbooks. As I write this article, I have just returned from a discussion with 7th-grade students in San Francisco, at which they described their year-long biology class that they found tedious and anything but inspiring. How did this happen?
Part of the answer to the first question lies in the fact that producing and selling textbooks is a big business, and the prevailing market forces have invariably led to mediocrity.

Modeling Instruction blogs, websites, and articles Mark Schober's website is a goldmine! It is a coherent course: includes modeling syllabus, worksheets, projects, readings, etc. for an entire year of high school physics (the 9 mechanics units, electric charge, sound & music, 3 models of light, and Six Flags Amusement Park physics). Accompanying each unit for the entire year are: key ideas, online simulations, practice problems, and relevant web links. Mark is a Modeling Workshop leader, and he helped develop the "models of light" workshop materials.
