Microcomputer-Based Laboratories in a Linked Physics- Calculus Program

小行星9452617 这个项目针对的是计划主修工程和物理的社区大学学生。 传统上，许多学生缺乏对基本物理概念的直觉，因此物理和微积分课程对初学者，特别是女性和少数民族来说是一个主要障碍。这个项目将提高暗黑谷学院的物理和微积分学生对物理概念和原理的学习、记忆和应用。这将通过由桑顿和劳斯开发的以微型计算机为基础的实验室和一个视频投影系统来完成。 该项目将创建移动的计算机单元，用于物理和微积分教学的不同领域和功能，并将增强Diablo Valley乐歌的“跨学科，团队教学微积分和物理项目”。 该项目将改善微积分和物理教学，提高科学素养，并刺激其他学院适应这种方法。

9452617 Karmon This project addresses community college students who are planning to major in Engineering and Physics. Traditionally, many students lack intuition for the underlying physical concepts, and as a result the physics and calculus courses present a major hurdle for beginning students, especially women and minorities. This project will improve the learning, retention, and application of physics concepts and principles by physics and calculus students at Diablo Valley College. This will be accomplished by the microcomputer-based laboratories developed by Thorton and Laws and a video projection system. This project will create mobile units of computers that will serve different areas and functions in teaching physics and calculus and will augment the "Interdisciplinary, team-teaching Calculus and Physics Project" at Diablo Valley Co lege. This project will improve calculus and physics instruction, increase science literacy, and stimulate other colleges to adapt this approach.
