Description
Summary:The study looked at beliefs about teaching Physics led by three faculty members of the Physics Department, College of Science, De La Salle University-Manila (Philippines) and determined how much of these beliefs find their way into actual classroom practice. Using the Maryland Physics Expectations Survey (MPEX), teachers' predispositions, values, and assumptions were documented. Classroom observation data using, the Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) form the "classroom practice" component of the study. These data will be a valuable input into a possible framework in teaching collegiate-level Physics in the Philippines.
