Learning in a Studio Mode, Spotlighting Teamwork and Interaction Learning in a Studio Mode What is Studio?  Studio is a new type of classroom design & technology, built upon principles from Physics Education Research.  Studio is but one part of a larger teaching philosophy, structured around student-centered active learning. Why do Studio?     Better learning assessment outcomes (CLASS, FMCE) Considerably lower DFW rate Better grades on tests and in the course overall Students like it better 2 Learning in a Studio Mode Class design: Lecture ? Lecture  Lecture is not very effective. Is there a better way to deliver this? 3 Learning in a Studio Mode Class design: Pre-Lecture Pre-lecture  Multimedia presentations  Short quizzes  Written student feedback  Detailed metrics  Prepares both students and faculty for class 4 Learning in a Studio Mode Class design: Lecture, Disc, Lab Pre-lecture Lecture  Address questions from pre-lecture  Clicker questions  Group worksheets  Simulations Disc Lab  Work further in small groups  Connect hands-on experience to textbook concepts  Assistance from graduate TFs and undergraduate LAs 5 Learning in a Studio Mode Class design: Homework, Help Office Hours Pre-lecture Lecture Online Forums Disc Lab Homework  Opportunity for students to practice  Online homework offers multiple chances, with immediate feedback  It also has links, hints, and animations 6 Learning in a Studio Mode Class design: Studio Office Hours Pre-lecture Lecture Online Forums Disc Lab Homework In-person, hands-on, and minds-on 7 Learning in a Studio Mode Studio pedagogy Focus on teamwork & active engagement"  Lecture, discussion, and lab activities combined with technology into optimized learning environment."  Students in teams of 3, at tables of 9, and at the boards around the room  Capacity for 81 students supported by one instructor, 2 TF’s, and 2 LA’s" 8 Learning in a Studio Mode Studio physics at BU  1st year of large-scale studio implementation.  Algebra-based intro physics 3 Studio sections of 81 = 241; three 2-hour sessions per week." 2 Lecture sections = 198 three 1-hour classes + 1 hour recitation + 3-hour lab (not every week)."  All students do the same tests, homework, pre-class quizzes, pre/post tests, and use the same book (Duffy, Essential Physics. 9 Learning in a Studio Mode DFW rates Students who have dropped, failed (received D’s or F’s), or withdrawn Section N DFW # Rate studio 241 8 3.3% lecture 198 19 9.6% Statistically significant difference, p = 0.01 N as of Sept. 18th, two weeks into the semester 10 Learning in a Studio Mode 11 Learning in a Studio Mode Test, final exam, and overall results Section N Test 1 Test 2 Final Overall studio 235 68.9 73.0 68.8 79.1 lecture 183 67.5 68.3 67.1 77.0 All students 12 Learning in a Studio Mode CLASS - lecture Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey Shifts down and right – more unfavorable 13 Learning in a Studio Mode CLASS - studio Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey Essentially no change - a good result! 14 Learning in a Studio Mode Student comments Studio format very useful for learning concepts through problem solving, integrating all parts of the course, encouraging interaction with classmates. I am very glad I did the Studio Section of this course. I feel like the combo of the pre-sessions and lectures as well as integration of lab/discussion elements worked well. Studio sections are really good in a way that we can discuss among our groups and also we can get immediate help from teaching assistants or professors. I really enjoyed the studio set-up, because I feel like I have learned way more through this hands-on teaching approach. 15 Learning in a Studio Mode Studio outperforms lecture     Better CLASS and FMCE outcomes Considerably lower DFW rate Better grades on tests and in the course overall" Students like it better 16
