AIP Physics Education Group (PEG) discipline day: innovative teaching practices and spaces

This year our discipline day will focus on innovative teaching practices and teaching spaces. We will start with a brief overview of evidence-based practices in science and mathematics, followed by a brief overview of teaching transformation using Physics and Astronomy Collaborative Environment (PACE) studios at the School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University, which were designed along the lines of SCALE-UP approach. We will work in groups to discuss how to implement active learning techniques in our courses, and share ideas on developing object-based learning in physics and astronomy education.
