Active learning in optics and photonics training manual

This Training Manual is intended for university and senior high school physics teachers from developing countries, and aims to train and better equip them to teach the optics part of the introductory physics course by using active learning with hands-on activities Author: m_alarcon. The Active Learning in Optics and Photonics program (ALOP) – a UNESCO’s International Basic Sciences Programme (IBSP) flagship activity – is contributing to the solution. Tackling the problem at its source, ALOP trains educators with hopes that it will enable them to develop professionally and pass on their skills to their students. The French edition of the training manual has been completed and plans are underway for a Spanish translation. In , ALOP was awarded the SPIE – The International Society for Optical Engineering President’s Award for Outstanding Contribution in Optics Education. This paper will discuss the ALOP project and its outcomes to date.

Workshops organized within the framework of the project “Active Learning in Optics and Photonics” (ALOP) mainly funded by UNESCO, with the support of ICTP (Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics) and SPIE (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers) aim to make simpler the introduction of this phenomenon and to accompany the classical mathematical approach []. This ALOP project consists in a series of workshops for educators, researchers and students and. particular, the UNESCO project in optics education, Active Learning in Optics and Photonics (ALOP), aims to better equip university and high school teachers to teach optics in the introductory physics course. The project focuses on an experimental physics area that is relevant and adaptable to research and educational conditions in. 1) A COHERENT MODEL OF “ACTIVE LEARNING IN OPTICS AND PHOTONICS (ALOP)” Based on physics education goals adopted at the World Conference on Physics and Sustainable Development, the workshop on “Active learning in optics and photonics (ALOP)” has been described as a model for teacher training and professional development1. In , the ALOP workshop was designed and developed by an.
