Efforts made to improve teaching Newberry College will join 19 other colleges in North Caro lina, South Carolina and Virgi nia in a year-long effort to im prove physics teaching. The pro ject, a cooperative effort of the Regional Education Laboratory for the Carolinas and Virginia (RELCV) and the University of North Carolina is funded by a $147,800 grant from the Nation al Science Foundation. “Students have a definite i- mage of physics,” Dr. Joseph W. Straley, professor of physics at the University of North Car olina, designer and director of the project, said. “They think it’s difficult and has little to do with life as it is lived.” We hope to change this image,” Dr. Straley said, “by rethinking the way we teach physics. The best effect of the program occurs when the teachers begin invent ing their own methods; we give the stimulus for this and any help we can.” This will be the second year of the program and of Newberry College’s participation in it. The first year saw many of the col leges change their freshman physics courses, making them more meaningful to non-physics majors. During the year, Kibler Wil liamson, professor of physics and mathematics at Newberry, will attend three weekend con ferences and a culminating six- week summer institute at UNC. The grant provides $1000 for laboratory equipment, if it is matched with an equal amount from the college. Consultation services are also available from Dr. Straley and from project coordinator Dr. Homer Wilkins, visiting professor of physics at UNC. At the summer institute at UNC this year, Williamson stu died astronomy and did inde pendent study in electricity. RECENT M0VINGS Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
