The University/Industry Program for Teachers of Physics

该项目名为大学/工业物理教师计划，旨在使30名高中物理教师的科学背景现代化和深化，同时为他们提供代表当前科学和技术兴趣主题的教材。构成该项目基础的物理教学模块是由物理教师团队开发的，他们与罗格斯大学的教职员工以及来自AT&&T贝尔实验室和贝尔通信研究公司的工业科学家合作。物理教师领导学院是该项目的中心活动。这30名物理教师是在全国范围内挑选出来的，他们将在1989年7月期间参加一个为期四周的住宿计划。暑期课程包括在首席教师和大学教员的协助下进行模块的实验室工作，由大学和工业科学家开发的一系列研讨会，有效教学策略的讨论，以及参观领先的研究设施。此外，选定的首席教师将在全年继续与科学家合作开发模块。这将涉及对以前开发的模块进行修订和测试以及创建新的模块。为了便于在课堂和专业科学教育讲习班上使用这些单元，将在学年期间为地区教师举行后续会议。所有1989年研究所的参与者将被邀请在1990年夏天回来参加一个为期一周的后续计划。参与者还将被鼓励使用PIMAIL进行交流，PIMAIL是由美国物理研究所赞助的交互式计算机网络。

The project; University/Industry Program for Teachers of Physics, is designed to modernize and deepen the science background of 30 high school physics teachers while providing them with teaching materials representative of topics of current scientific and technical interest. The physics teaching modules which form the basis of the project were developed by teams of physics teachers working with Rutgers University faculty and industrial scientists from AT&T Bell Laboratories and Bell Communications Research. The Leadership Institute for Teachers of Physics is the central activity of the project. The thirty physics teachers, selected nationwide, will attend a four-week residential program during July 1989. The summer program includes laboratory work on the modules with the assistance of Lead Teachers and university faculty, a seminar series developed by university and industrial scientists, discussion of effective teaching strategies, and tours of leading research facilities. In addition, selected Lead Teachers will continue to work with scientists on module development throughout the year. This will involve the revision and testing of previously developed modules and the creation of new ones. To facilitate the use of the modules both in the classroom and at professional science education workshops, follow-up meetings will be held during the school year for regional teachers. All 1989 Institute participants will be invited back for a one-week follow-up program in the summer of 1990. Participants will also be encouraged to communicate using PIMAIL, an interactive computer network sponsored by the American Institute of Physics.
