9354501 McDermott We are developing a comprehensive, multi-faceted program to be conducted by the Physics Education Group in the Physics Department at the University of Washington. The program consists of a group of interrelated projects that focus on undergraduate course improvement, teacher preparation and enhancement, and university faculty development. The goals for the project are: (1) to expand our knowledge of how students learn physics; (2) to increase student learning in the introductory physics course; (3) to prepare (K- 12) preservice and inservice teachers to teach science as a process of inquiry; and (4) to improve the teaching effectiveness of present and future college and university faculty. The first goal will be met by continuing our investigation of student understanding in physics. We will work toward the second and third goals by using results from this ongoing research as a guide in developing instructional materials for introductory physics students and for preservice and inservice teachers. We will progress toward the fourth goal by conducting workshops for undergraduate faculty, inviting faculty interns for short-term visits to observe first-hand the activities of our group, and producing a Faculty Development Handbook to help prepare teaching assistants, postdoctoral research associates and junior faculty for their role as physics instructors.

9354501麦克德莫特我们正在开发一个全面的，多方面的计划将由物理教育组在物理系在华盛顿大学进行。该计划由一组相互关联的项目组成，重点关注本科课程改进、教师准备和提高以及大学教师发展。 该项目的目标是：（1）扩大我们对学生如何学习物理的知识;（2）增加学生在物理入门课程中的学习;（3）准备（K- 12）在职和在职教师将科学作为探究过程进行教学;（4）提高现在和未来学院和大学教师的教学效率。 第一个目标将通过继续我们对学生物理理解的调查来实现。我们将努力实现第二个和第三个目标，通过使用正在进行的研究结果作为指导，在开发教材的入门物理学生和在职教师。我们将通过为本科教师举办研讨会，邀请教师实习生进行短期访问，以观察我们小组的第一手活动，并制作教师发展手册，以帮助准备助教，博士后研究助理和初级教师作为物理教师的角色，朝着第四个目标前进。
