Less is More
I was at eurekalert.org today and found this press release slash article about physics instructors. "Use of research-based instructional strategies in introductory physics: Where do faculty leave the innovation-decision process?" I was reading and ran into this, "However, age (as measured by rank and years of teaching experience) was not correlated with the use of instructional techniques, and it also did not matter if an instructor was in a teaching-oriented job, what type of institution he/she taught at, the size of the classes they teach, or if they were highly productive researchers." (Hendersen, 2012)
Yes, age is not correlated with the utilization of innovative instructional techniques. Research was also not correlated. Maybe that is because some instructors just so happen to respect the facts and some do not.
