Description

We describe reforms in the Applied physics program at the University of Ljubljana. The reforms utilised the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) approach to a more effective learning and teaching physics. The course was synchronised with recitations and lab work, the classroom was rearranged in a studio setting to support group work, and semi-open investigations were introduced in the lab course to foster authentic experiences. Using active student participation and collaboration, the program aims to produce graduates who are equipped to tackle real-world problems. We report on various changes and attitudes of students and instructors towards the reformed programme.
