TEACHING TECHNIQUES AND DEMONSTRATIONS:LET'S NOT RECREATE THE WHEEL

摘要

As educators in human factors and ergonomics, we often struggle to findgood examples that demonstrate the underlying psychological orergonomic principles and how these principles are applied to HF/Eproblems. This symposium is an attempt to establish a basic format forpresenting effective teaching techniques, strategies, and demonstrations.These five demonstrations require active participation of the students,make the HF/E principles more relevant, cost under $50, and require littlemore than everyday equipment available in most academic departments.After the presentations, a 20 to 30 minute discussion will ensue to identify1) existing but undocumented demonstrations, 2) areas in whichdemonstrations are needed, and 3) additional sources of demonstrations.
