EFA Global Monitoring Report - 2005 Education for All - The Quality Imperative As many governments strive to expand basic education, they also face the challenge of ensuring that students stay in school long enough to acquire the knowledge they need to cope in a rapidly changing world.

Illuminating Integrated Humanities Classes with Historical Storytelling (1999-2000 MIL Fellowship) I teach a two-semester integrated humanities class entitled "Ideas and Values in the Humanities." The first part of my fellowship project was to research and craft in-depth stories of five people from the cultures we study in the second semester of the course. The second part of my project was assessment. I gave students a pre-assessment inventory at the beginning of the semester to determine their knowledge of the five people. At the end of the semester, I conducted a post-assessment inventory and compared the results of the two.

Inquiry-Oriented Physics Instruction (1999-2000 MIL Fellowship) Physics education research shows that students entering introductory physics classes have naive beliefs and preconceptions about the physical world. Research has also shown that traditional physics instruction at the introductory level does not do much in the way of changing these beliefs. The main cause of these preconceptions is that the student has conceived incorrect mental models to explain his/her experiences about the physical world. My learning project focuses on the modeling method of instruction that has been able to address this issue. From Maricopa Learning eXchange (MLX) Newest on November 9, 2004 at 1:30 p.m..
