Scientific paper

How can we present science as an evolving endeavor of human curiosity? How can we achieve real-time pace matching between instructors and students? How can we insure that every student has a personal contribution to the process? Peer Instruction, coming into widespread use for undergraduate physics courses across the U.S., may provide a signifcant contribution to the resolution of these perennial questions. As a crucial part of Peer Instruction, teachers pose a question that highlights common misconceptions (a ConcepTest), which becomes the subject of small interactive peer group debates in class. We are compiling a library of ConcepTests to facilitate the implementation of Peer Instruction in introductory undergraduate astronomy. We will introduce the ConcepTest library, discuss its implementation, its evaluation, and your role.
