This one-year pilot program for experienced community college physics teachers provides two curriculum development workshops during the 1991-92 academic year at two geographically dispersed community college campuses. One workshop fosters the approach of using microcomputer-based laboratories (MBL). The other advocates employing conceptual exercises (CE) and overview case studies (OCS). The workshops are derived from successful models that apply findings of cognitive physics education research.Each three-day workshop is led by two senior university/college physics professors who played a major role in the development and promotion of MBL and CE/OCS. These hands-on workshops allow community college physics teacher participants to gain knowledge about recent developments in these areas and encourage participants to adapt or develop curriculum materials which incorporate this knowledge at their own community colleges.The main goal of this project is to help community college students develop a stronger understanding of physics. The impact of the workshops is reinforced afterwards by the establishment of a networking system employing telecommunications bulletin board systems and a newsletter. Extension of this program to additional sites in other regions of the country is anticipated.

这个为期一年的试点计划，为经验丰富的社区大学 物理教师提供两个课程发展研讨会 在一九九一至九二学年， 分散的社区大学校园。 一个讲习班促进了 使用基于微机的实验室（MBL）的方法。 的 其他倡导者采用概念练习（CE）， 概述案例研究（OCS）。 研讨会来自于 应用认知物理学发现的成功模型 每个为期三天的工作坊由两名资深 大学/学院的物理学教授， 发展和推广MBL和CE/OCS。 这些 实践研讨会允许社区大学物理教师 与会者了解最近的事态发展， 这些领域，并鼓励参与者适应或发展 将这些知识纳入课程材料， 这个项目的主要目标是帮助 社区学院的学生对以下方面有了更深刻的理解： 物理学 讲习班的影响后来得到加强 通过建立一个网络系统， 电信公告板系统和通讯。 将该计划扩展到其他地区的其他地点 国的预期。
