  2. Getting Vision Right

  3. McMurry University Vision for the Natural and Computational Sciences The McMurry University Natural and Computational Sciences faculty believes that a basic appreciation of science is an essential component of a well-rounded education. McMurry science programs are designed to cooperatively build within every graduate the foundational knowledge, appropriate skills, and hands-on experience necessary to succeed in the workplace, the classroom, graduate programs, or professional schools. The research-rich environment encourages faculty to develop both individually and collaboratively, to implement innovative teaching methods, and to advance and disseminate scientific knowledge.

  4. The aspects of McMurry University 2023 Centennial Vision We envision • learning communities • using asynchronous learning modes • a more diverse campus • opportunities for collaborative programs • the Center for Research in Teaching Mathematics and Science • the development of other MURI centers for undergraduate research

  5. Challenges in Teaching Physics • the need to balance the depth and breadth in material coverage • the need to provide active engagement with subject matter • the need to integrate laboratory exercises with class content • the need to account for various learning styles of diverse student audiences

  6. MIT Story Teaching First-year introductory physics and TEAL class-room

  7. MIT Story • Cartesian Learning • Constructivist Learning • Social Constructivism
