为了深入了解当前的物理教学实践和建议的改革，我们概述了1860-2014年期间美国物理教育的历史以及伴随的教学问题和辩论。我们确定了十个不同时期的关键事件，人物和问题，比较和对比不同时代的观点和观点。这种讨论应该有助于物理教育工作者（1）意识到以前在物理教育方面的研究和美国为改变物理教学所做的重大努力，(2)将今天的国家改革运动，以及目前的物理教育研究，放在过去的努力的背景下，（3）评估过去各种教育改革努力的效果，以便更好地确定什么改革方法可能在未来最有可能成功。
In order to provide insight into current physics teaching practices and recommended reforms, we outline the history of physics education in the United States—and the accompanying pedagogical issues and debates—over the period 1860–2014. We identify key events, personalities, and issues for each of ten separate time periods, comparing and contrasting the outlooks and viewpoints of the different eras. This discussion should help physics educators to (1) become aware of previous research in physics education and of the major efforts to transform physics instruction that have taken place in the U.S., (2) place the national reform movements of today, as well as current physics education research, in the context of past efforts, and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of various education transformation efforts of the past, so as better to determine what reform methods might have the greatest chances of success in the future.
