U.S. - Japan - China Trilateral Planning Conference

1986年国际物理教育委员会东京会议后，美国、日本和中国代表团的领导人同意在三国各自设立顾问委员会，以计划如何合作探索物理教育的各个方面。该项目将使这些委员会的代表能够于1989年夏天在夏威夷举行会议，探讨如何就妇女在物理中的作用、物理教师的教育、物理课程、低成本实验的发展、计算机在物理教育中的应用、物理学生形成概念的研究以及物理教育与语言之间的关系等问题进行互动。会议之后，将在各自咨询委员会的指导下，在每个国家规划和实施具体活动。

Following the 1986 Tokyo meeting of the International Commission on Physics Education, leaders of the U. S., Japan, and China delegations agreed to establish Advisory Committees in each of the three countries to plan ways to work together in exploring various aspects of physics education. This project will allow representatives of those committees to meet in Hawaii in the summer of 1989 to explore ways to interact on such topics as the role of women in physics, the education of physics teachers, the physics curriculum, development of low cost experiments, computer applications in physics education, research in concept formation by physics students, and the relation between physics education and languages. The meeting will be followed by planning and implementation of concrete activities in each country under the guidance of the respective Advisory Committees.
