How Interactive are Lectures? - A case study from a flipped introductory Physics ectures
- 1. VICE-PHEC 2016 Anna Wood Ross Galloway, Judy Hardy How Interactive are Lectures? - A case study from a flipped introductory Physics class
- 2. ● Rationale ● ● ‘Active’ better than ‘passive’ ● e.g. Hake, Am. J. Phys. 66, 64 (1998), Freeman, et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 111, 8410 (2014). ● BUT - What is an ‘active’ lecture ? Aim ● Characterise interactions in lectures ● Develop a framework for interactive learning ● Analyse a case study from 1st year physics ● VICE-PHEC 2016
- 3. Method ● Subjects: Two 1st year ‘flipped’ physics courses. ● Pre-readings (before lecture). ● Peer-Instruction (during lecture). ● Data Collection: Lecture Capture Videos. ● 16 lectures, 8 from each course (1A and 1B). ● Coding: ● Constructivist grounded theory approach. ● Activities coded on a continuous (per second) basis.

- 7. VICE-PHEC 2016 Physics 1A Physics 1B 55% lecturer talking on average
- 8. ● Conclusions ● ● FILL framework useful for characterising interactions in lectures. ● 55% of time is spent on non-interactive (passive) activities. ● Differences between 1A and 1B indicate importance of local context. VICE-PHEC 2016
