9351305 Tobochnik A teachers resource guide is being developed for faculty teaching a model laboratory-based course on computer simulation which will fundamentally alter the nature of the first two years of the undergraduate physics curriculum. This guide will include carefully developed and tested problems, sample programs, explanations of the relevant physics and algorithms, typical results, extensive reference lists, and suggestions for teachers. These materials also will provide guidance to teachers with limited experience in using computer simulations so that they can use the discovery method of teaching and provide direction to students without undue time spent on course preparation. Topics will be chosen that give students opportunities to develop their conceptual understanding of the principles of physics, motivate them to learn more physics, and apply the principles of physics to other sciences and engineering. Funds are requested for release time, computers, student stipends, and travel. The principal investigators have extensive experience in incorporating computers into the physics curriculum, and the proposed work will have national and international impact.

小行星9351305 教师资源指南正在开发的教师教学模型实验室为基础的计算机模拟课程，这将从根本上改变本科物理课程的头两年的性质。本指南将包括精心开发和测试的问题，示例程序，相关物理和算法的解释，典型结果，广泛的参考列表以及对教师的建议。这些材料还将为使用计算机模拟的经验有限的教师提供指导，以便他们可以使用发现教学方法，并为学生提供指导，而无需花费过多的时间准备课程。主题将被选择，让学生有机会发展他们的物理原理的概念理解，激励他们学习更多的物理，并将物理原理应用到其他科学和工程。 资金要求释放时间，计算机，学生津贴和旅行。主要研究人员在将计算机纳入物理课程方面具有丰富的经验，拟议的工作将产生国家和国际影响。
