| Abstract Title: | Using Computational Essays to Support Student Creativity and Agency in Physics |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Computation holds great potential for enabling students to engage in creative, exploratory, and investigative scientific coursework. At the University of Oslo, we have been exploring this potential through the development and testing of a new teaching tool known as a computational essay. In this talk, I will describe how we are conceptualizing student creativity and agency in physics, how we use computational essays to support these qualities in our teaching, and the various possibilities for using computational essays as an alternative mode of physics assessment. |
