Examination topics
Coursework: students need to learn about semiotic representations and the learning theories that link the use of representations with learning physical concepts, designing learning activities based on semiotic representations, and learn how quantitative and qualitative evaluations of learning materials are done in the existing literature.
Capstone project, part 1: Progress report on literature review and problem identification
Capstone project, part 2: Progress report on learning activity design, implementation and evaluation of the learning activity.
Capstone project, final report: Final oral presentation and written report (literature review, problem identification, learning activity design, implementation and evaluation, analysis of the results and key takeaways).
