Introduction
Summary and outlook
Konrad Jende (TU Dresden), EPPOG meeting October 31st 2009
ATLANTIS event display as in MINERVA
9 ATLANTIS event display as in HYPATIA (simplified 2.3)
AMELIA event display (Joao Antunes Pequenao)
GLOBE event display
Didactical criteria: Perceivability (clear structure) y ( ) Usability Offers user feedback, Help (a possibility for differentiation) and possibilities of comparison ) p p Modern design As little text as possible
Konrad Jende (TU Dresden), EPPOG meeting October 31st 2009
HYPATIA and MINERVA based on ATLANTIS ATLANTIS = tool developed by physicists for physicists BOTH DO NOT FULFIL ALL REQUIRED PROPERTIES
Konrad Jende (TU Dresden), EPPOG meeting October 31st 2009
User interface, , implementation of event display, integration of real data

Didactical help for students Didactical help for students must be developed until June 2010

What we need: Convey Concepts and ideas about fundamental questions and possible discoveries to students through suitable exercises in LHC‐Masterclasses. Lectures and exercises that ensure the success of understanding and discovery. Roadmap: Roadmap:

– Proton has more u-quarks than d-quarks

Slide 15 kj1 Normally, students do not know that the proton consists of elementary particles. We have to let them explore this fundamental knowledge.

What else do we have to take care of? Motivation Aim‐oriented learning Aim‐oriented learning Accompany Development and consolidation of knowledge (take a look at Identifying Particles) Minimize technical terms and numbers (especially the ith k it )

Conclusion: Up to now, there is neither a concept nor an event display that fulfils the majority of the didactic conditions!!!
18
Typical agenda + unusual workflow ‐ Too many lectures = boring challenge !!!
Konrad Jende (TU Dresden), EPPOG meeting October 31st 2009
Suggestion: I. Introduction II. First meeting (in large groups, depending on number of participants, to discuss exactly the aims of MC, the action of students and the routine of day)
V. Second lecture

NEW: First exercise But why? create and increase student activity (usual paper work, e.g. draft tracks of certain particles in detectors, a small calculation or an exercise to deal with Feynman‐Diagrams )
Konrad Jende (TU Dresden), EPPOG meeting October 31st 2009
The aims of evaluation are: to prove if and how we have achieved our aims of the MC event to adapt have achieved our aims of the MC‐event to adapt concept (if necessary) Aims of the MC (see [1]): Aims of the MC (see [1]):
stimulate interest in science; demonstrate the scientific research process; make data from modern particle physics experiments available to students; explore the fundamental forces and building blocks of nature Konrad Jende (TU Dresden), EPPOG meeting October 31st 2009
A big help: Frank Meier (ETH Zürich) Evaluation steps: before‐after‐delayed‐very delayed Questionnaire has to be prepared by June/July 2010

Upcoming tasks: p g 1. Didactic design of MC‐exercises 2. Developing of user’s interface and embedding of event 2. Developing of user s interface and embedding of event display 3 Developing a questionnaire for evaluation (pre after 3. Developing a questionnaire for evaluation (pre, after, delayed, very delayed) 4 Ch i f d t t 4. Changing of day structure 5. Realisation, organisation and translation of concept (from June 2010) 6. Implementation of MC and evaluation (during 2011) 7. Implementation of changes arising through evaluation and LHC‐discoveries
