Description

In our active learning workshop, we will provide an example of a collaborative, student-centred approach for physics course using the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) approach. The topic studied will be torques and can be therefore adopted to high school levels and introductory physics courses at the university. Participants will engage in various hands-on activities, with special attention paid to lab work to illustrate how such a dynamic classroom can change the strategy for teaching physics. A discussion on the benefits and challenges of this innovative approach will help participants adopt the ISLE learning methodology in their own physics classrooms.
