9353998 Hieggelke This two-year national program, based on a successful pilot project, will provide eight workshops (four each year) designed for experienced community college physics teachers at several geographically-dispersed community college campuses. One set of workshops acquaints participants with (1) the use of microcomputer-based laboratories; (2) the construction of physics simulations; or (3) the development of conceptual exercises and overview case studies. Another workshop provides an update and an opportunity for more advanced experiences with microcomputer-based lab technology for previous workshop participants. Each three-day workshop is being led by two community college physics professors and two university/college physics professor who play a major role in these areas. These workshops acquaint participants with the contemporary use of the recent developments and findings of cognitive physics research and participants are provided with extensive materials based on these findings. As a result of these intensive workshops, participants are able to evaluate these developments and they are able to return to their campus to start implementing the workshop findings. Thus, these workshops facilitate the rapid incorporation of this knowledge and technology at community colleges. The impact of the workshop is being reinforced by the establishment of a networking system employing a telecommunications bulletin board system and a newsletter. The ultimate goal of this project is to help community college students develop a stronger understanding of classical and contemporary physics. The task of updating physics programs at community colleges is difficult but essential for the nation and for science because of the large number of students, particularly women and minorities, attending community colleges. ***

9353998 Hieggelke 这项为期两年的国家计划以一个成功的试点项目为基础，将为几个地理位置分散的社区大学校园的经验丰富的社区大学物理教师提供八个讲习班（每年四次）。 一组讲习班让参与者熟悉（1）基于微机的实验室的使用； (2)物理模拟的构建； (3) 概念练习和概述案例研究的发展。 另一个研讨会为以前的研讨会参与者提供了更新和获得基于微计算机的实验室技术的更高级经验的机会。 每个为期三天的研讨会均由两名社区大学物理学教授和两名在这些领域发挥重要作用的大学/学院物理学教授主持。 这些研讨会使参与者熟悉认知物理学研究的最新发展和发现的当代应用，并为参与者提供基于这些发现的广泛材料。 通过这些密集的研讨会，参与者能够评估这些进展，并能够返回校园开始实施研讨会的结果。 因此，这些研讨会促进了这些知识和技术在社区大学的快速融入。 采用电信公告板系统和时事通讯的网络系统的建立正在加强讲习班的影响。 该项目的最终目标是帮助社区学院的学生加深对经典和当代物理学的理解。 更新社区大学物理课程的任务虽然艰巨，但对于国家和科学来说至关重要，因为有大量学生，特别是女性和少数族裔就读社区大学。 ***
