“…Studi di ricerca didattica hanno evidenziato che sia studenti di scuola secondaria superiore che universitari tendono ad associare l'energia di una riga spettrale con l'energia di un singolo livello piuttosto che alla differenza in energia tra coppie di livelli (Rebello et al 1998;Zollman et al 2002), in particolare nei corsi introduttivi di astronomia, dove la spettroscopia gioca un ruolo chiave, esistono difficoltà legate al descrivere il processo di emissione luminosa da parte degli atomi (Bardar et al 2006). Tra gli studenti universitari emerge un'idea per la quale l'energia della radiazione è legata all'intensità piuttosto che al colore (Lee 2002).…”

Writing has long been established to be an effective means of expressing one's ideas, thoughts, and understanding about nature and the world. This paper will report on an ongoing research study designed to address the role of writing in terms of the assessment of student learning. To this end, a new instructional technique for incorporating writing into the curriculum for nonmajors will be described. This technique was developed to bring science and engineering topics to the forefront in a new introductory physics course (Physics for a New Millennium) designed exclusively for non-majors at American University in Washington, DC. Participants in this study were enrolled in Physics for a New Millennium during the fall 1999 semester. The technique employed required students to write and present a scientific paper for their peers. Students were exposed to all aspects of preparing a paper for publication including the submission of an abstract, the preparation of a draft of their paper for a formal review process, and the preparation of a revised, camera-ready copy for publication in the conference proceedings. Students were also required to present their final papers at the New Millennium Conference at the end of the fall 1999 semester. In this paper, a summary of the curriculum devised for this writing technique will be presented. Writing topics selected and presented by student participants will also be shared. In addition, links will be made to the importance of making science and engineering topics accessible to non-majors through the active process of writing. I.

Physics for a New Millennium is a recently developed second-tier course in the Natural Sciences portion of the General Education core of courses at American University. Students enrolled will have first completed a one-semester foundation course in introductory physics, Physics for the Modern World. The content of the new course includes the topics of Electricity & Magnetism, Light & Color, and Quantum Physics. In this paper a brief overview of the curriculum developed for both courses will be outlined. Emphasis will be placed on the interactive teaching and learning strategies developed and employed in the second-tier course. Selected strategies used to assess student understanding will also be described. These strategies include a unique writing activity that allowed students to participate in all aspects of preparing a formal paper for publication and presentation at a professional conference. Finally, feedback from students pertaining to their perceptions regarding the course will be highlighted. I.
