Doing and Thinking Physics at the Secondary Level

本计划将编制一套教材，以配合多媒体影碟套件：物理学：电影经典。在其专业领域内被公认为领导者的课堂教师将撰写和测试材料。这三张双面影碟是按主题组织的，并完全用条形码索引，以便使用。教材将提供视盘文本的概述、所涵盖的物理概念、教学理念和实验练习。学生评估工具将由项目人员开发和测试，以评估学生的概念知识。实地测试也将在教师缺乏经验和少数民族人数较多的地点进行，以确定这些材料对广泛的教师技能和培训的有用性。发行将通过美国物理教师协会（AAPT）选择的商业出版商进行。项目人员将在一系列区域和国家亚太经合组织会议上提供使用整套材料的培训。

This project will develop a set of teaching materials to accompany the multimedia, videodisc package: Physics: Cinema Classics. Classroom teachers recognized as leaders within their profession will write and test the materials. The three two-sided videodiscs are organized by themes and fully indexed with bar codes for ease of use. The teaching materials will provide an overview of the videodisc text, the physics concepts being covered, teaching ideas, and laboratory exercises. A student assessment instrument will be developed and tested by project personnel to evaluate the students' conceptual knowledge. Field testing will also occur at sites with inexperienced teachers and high levels of minorities to determine the usefulness of the materials for a wide range of teacher skill and training. Distribution will occur through a commercial publisher being selected by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). Project personnel will provide training on the use of the complete set of the materials at a series of regional and national AAPT conferences.
