The University/Industry Program for Teachers of Physics

该项目;“大学/行业物理教师计划”旨在为30名高中物理教师提供具有当前科学和技术兴趣的代表性主题的教材，并使其科学背景现代化和深化。构成该项目的基础的物理教学模块是由物理教师团队与罗格斯大学的教职员工以及来自AT&amp；T贝尔实验室和贝尔通信研究所的工业科学家共同开发的。物理教师领导学院是该项目的中心活动。在全国范围内选出的30名物理教师将于1989年7月参加为期四周的住校课程。暑期课程包括在首席教师和大学教师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系列研讨会，讨论有效的教学策略，以及参观领先的研究设施。此外，被选中的首席教师将继续与科学家在模块开发方面进行合作。这将涉及对以前开发的模块的修订和测试以及新模块的创建。为了促进在课堂和专业科学教育讲习班上使用这些单元，将在学年期间为区域教师举行后续会议。将邀请1989年研训所的所有参加者在1990年夏季参加一个为期一周的后续方案。参与者还将被鼓励使用PIMAIL进行交流，这是一个由美国物理学会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.
