Pratibha Varma-Nelson, P-Varmanelson@neiu.edu, Department of Chemistry, Earth Science and Physics, Northeastern Illinois University, 5500 N St Louis Avenue, Chicago, IL 60625-4699 and Leo Gafney, gafney@pop3.discovernet.net, PLTL Workshop Project, 147 Wells Hill Road, Lakeville, CT 06039.
The results of a study of implementation and dissemination of PLTL will be presented. Some factors involved in successful institutionalization will be identified. This will be done from a perspective broad enough so that the results will be transferable to other educational innovations. Presentation and discussion will include factors required for a new approach to teaching and learning to become established as part of a faculty's accepted method.
