Educational Researcher and Physics Lecturer
Amit Shlomo
Hi!
I am currently finishing my Ph.D. in Physics education in the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, along with lecturing physics courses in Guangdong Technion (the Technion's branch in China).
In my teaching, I strive to inspire curiosity through demonstrations and experiments that visualize and analyze physical phenomena, challenging intuition and prompting class discussions. In addition, some of the lessons are hands-on, project-based (i.e., building scientific equipment using what they know), providing students with the flexibility and freedom to express themselves individually and collaboratively.
Alongside face-to-face learning, online learning is a part of my teaching and research to enhance students’ understanding and motivation. More specifically, I examine students’ attitudes toward different learning formats (e.g., face-to-face learning, synchronously online learning, and asynchronously online learning), and investigate the motivational trade-offs of each learning format.
