To achieve the central goal of promoting learning of math and science for all students, AlACiMa included interventions to strengthen the preparation of future K-12 math and science teachers, increase the number of certified math and science teachers, and support the induction of novice math and science teachers. While the main thrust of AlACiMa was...
The behavior of falling objects was used to assess students' misconceptions about
acceleration and a think-pair-share constructivistic strategy was used in the classroom to
promote the discovery of the underlying physical explanation. A set of 3 different questions
were posed at the final examination to determined the gain in students understand...
Cooperative learning (CL) has been lauded over the years as one of the most successful teaching/learning strategies employed by professors of science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SMET) in institutions of higher education throughout Puerto Rico.

Crystals of Li2SO4 · H2O irradiated with X-rays for 6 hours at room temperature contain a paramagnetic center identified as LiOH+2. The observed hyperfine structure comes from two types of nuclei, one with I = and the other with I = 1. The first is assigned to the lithium and the second to two equivalent hydrogens. From the tensor directions the lo...
