Operation Physics: Phase Two

操作物理第二阶段继续这一国家项目，以改善小学和中学高年级基本物理概念的教与学。分布在美国各地的36个三人领导团队将参加在圣地亚哥州立大学举行的为期三周的强化活动培训计划。该小组由来自当地的一名教师、一名主管或管理人员以及一名学院/大学人员组成，将重点关注通常被确定为纳入K-8课程的物理内容、适合向中小学生教授物理的当前方法和材料、与学习理论有关的最新研究以及使用在项目第一阶段开发的特别设计的工作坊套件的教学实践。各小组还将接受培训和协助，利用这些工具包在各自地区规划和举办所需数量的在职讲习班。行动物理小组将通过美国物理学会教育司和行动物理国家促进者的服务协助其传播工作。这些州协调员将协调在该州实施和传播作业物理方案。该项目的费用分摊占总费用的很大一部分。来自学区、圣地亚哥州立大学和AIP的捐款相当于NSF申请的49%。//

Phase Two of Operation Physics continues this national project to improve the teaching and learning of basic physics concepts in the upper elementary and middle school grades. Thirty-six three-member leadership teams, geographically distributed throughout the United States will participate in an intensive activity-oriented three-week training program held at San Diego State University. This team, consisting of a teacher, a supervisor or administrator and a college/university person from the local region, will focus on the physics content typically identified for inclusion in the K-8 curriculum, current methods and materials appropriate for teaching physics to elementary and middle school children, recent research related to learning theory and teaching practice using especially designed workshop kits developed during the first phase of the project. The teams will also receive training and assistance in using these kits to plan and conduct a required number of inservice workshops in their own area. The Operation Physics teams will be assisted in their dissemination efforts through the services of the Education Division of the American Institute of Physics and the Operation Physics State Facilitators. These State Facilitators will coordinate the implementation and dissemination of the Operation Physics programs in the state. The cost-sharing for this project represents a significant part of the total cost. Contributions from the school districts, San Diego State University, and AIP represent an amount equal to 49% of the NSF request. //
