Language and second teaching in physics learning.
Abstract
Second teaching is a model of small group activity designed to follow initial instruction. Following Vygotsky's ideas, second teaching works to facilitate individual learning processes. The collective wisdom of a small group acts as a mentor to individual learners. Many nontraditional students do well in a learning environment where second teaching is fostered. Research involving students in an educational opportunity program at a technological university sheds light on small group physics learning and indicates a significant relationship between language development and conceptual physics learning.
