Dunleavy, Spencer; Kestin, Greg; Callaghan, Kristina; McCarty, Logan; Deslauriers, Louis – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
The typical introductory physics lecture requires students to consolidate and assimilate a large quantity of complex information that is often novel to them. This can leave students overwhelmed, slow the pace of their learning, and lower their motivation. We find that carefully designed multimedia summaries in the form of one-minute videos and…

Kestin, Greg; Miller, Kelly; McCarty, Logan S.; Callaghan, Kristina; Deslauriers, Louis – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Nearly every introductory physics or chemistry course includes live lecture demonstrations, which can range from simple illustrations of a pendulum to elaborate productions with specialized apparatus and highly trained demonstrators. Students and instructors often consider "demos" to be among the highlights of these classes. Yet, in some…

Wieman, Carl; Deslauriers, Louis; Gilley, Brett – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
We have examined the teaching practices of faculty members who adopted research-based instructional strategies (RBIS) as part of the Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative (CWSEI) at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Of the 70 that adopted such strategies with the support of the CWSEI program, only one subsequently stopped using these…

Deslauriers, Louis; Wieman, Carl – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2011
We measured mastery and retention of conceptual understanding of quantum mechanics in a modern physics course. This was studied for two equivalent cohorts of students taught with different pedagogical approaches using the Quantum Mechanics Conceptual Survey. We measured the impact of pedagogical approach both on the original conceptual learning…
