Re: help needed-gifted education and inquiry science



In her Phys-L post of 19 Apr 2003 02:00:03-0700 of the above subject
title, Kathy Daniel wrote:

"Richard - Thanks for the information. . . [in Hake (2003)]. . . It
is very helpful. Would it be possible to get a complete citation for
your results mentioned as being published in 1998."

Sorry, I inadvertently omitted the reference Hake (1998a) from Hake
(2003) in response to Daniel (2003). In "REFERENCES" below I include
that reference and also the related Hake (1998b; 2002a,b).

BTW:
1. In Hake (2002c) I wrote (see that article for the references):

"More recently normalized gain differences between Traditional (T)
and Interactive Engagement (IE) courses that are consistent with the
work of Hake (1998a,b,c; 2002a,b,c,d) have been reported by Redish et
al. (1997); Saul (1998); Francis et al. (1998); Redish & (1999);
Redish (1999); Beichner et al. (1999); Cummings et al. (1999); Novak
et al. (1999); Beichner et al. (2000); Bernhard (2000); Crouch &
Mazur (2001); Johnson (2001); Meltzer (2002a,b,c); Meltzer &
Manivannan (2002); Savinainen & Scott (2002a,b); Steinberg and
Donnelly (2002); Fagan et al. (2002); and Van Domelen & Van Heuvelen
(2002)."

2. Kathy Daniel (2003) cross-posted her request on both Phys-L and
Physhare. In order to promote intradisciplinary synergy, Hake (2003)
was cross-posted (much to the irritation of some subscribers) on
discussion lists with archives at:

Phys-L <http://lists.nau.edu/archives/phys-l.html> .....7

PhysLrnR <http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/physlrnr.html>....5

Physhare <http://lists.psu.edu/archives/physhare.html> ....6

In each of the above lists there are responses to the Daniel/Hake
posts that might be of value to those interested in inquiry science
for "gifted" or "top" students. To see those responses, click on the
above URL's and then on "Search the archives" to bring up the search
engine. Then type "gifted" (without the quotes) into the "Subject"
slot and "2003" into the "Since" slot to bring up the number of hits
(as of 19 Apr 2003 07:40:00-0700) indicated by the numbers after the
above URL's.

Paradoxically, the PhysLrnR discussion list, whose posts offer a
wealth of information to physics teachers, PROHIBITS non-subscribers
from accessing its archives (!!), purportedly to reduce spamming of
subscribers. But it takes only a few minutes to subscribe and then
unsubscribe by following the simple directions at
<http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/physlrnr.html> / "Join or
leave the list (or change settings)" where "/" means "click on."
Rather than unsubscribe after using the archives, it's easier to
subscribe in the first place using the "NOMAIL" option under
"Miscellaneous." Then, as a subscriber, you may access the archives
and/or post messages at any time, while receiving NO MAIL from the
list!

3. Since some AP-physics students might be considered as "gifted" or
"top," I am posting the present message on the AP-Physics discussion
list
<http://lyris.collegeboard.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?site=collegeboard&enter=ap-physics>.
Unfortunately, its antediluvian LYRIS archives are nearly useless.
