Equipment Enhancement for Introductory Psychology Laboratory

该项目资助学生工作站、网络服务器和教室设备，以加强和扩展心理学入门课程实验室部分的能力，该课程是为一半的学生提供科学分配所需的。通过这种设备，超文本被用来整合来自讲座、实验室、图书馆和视频资源的材料，使它们既可以在15个实验室工作站上使用，也可以通过校园网(宿舍和计算机工作间)提供给个别学生。这个教学实验室网络使使用新型教学材料成为可能：QuickTime视频片段、动态过程的动画插图，以及目前分散在教职员工中的幻灯片、管理费用和图形的易于访问的文件。预期的效果有四个方面：让学生体验以前在入门水平上无法获得的方法论；提供更积极地探索入门心理学的方法论和百科全书内容的手段；教授如何使用网络上可用的图书馆资源；以及开发联网站点的潜力来收集、整理和展示数据，以便学生有更多的时间解释和考虑可能的替代假设。

This project funds student work stations, a network server, and classroom equipment to reinforce and expand dramatically the capabilities of the laboratory portion of an introductory psychology course that serves as the science distribution requirement for half of the student body. With this equipment, hypertext is used to integrate the materials from lecture, laboratory, library, and video resources, making them available both at 15 laboratory work stations and to individual students through the campus network (dormitories and computer work rooms). This instructional lab network makes it possible to use new types of pedagogical material: QuickTime video segments, animated illustrations of dynamic processes, and a readily accessible file of slides, overheads, and graphics currently scattered among faculty. The intended effect is fourfold: to give students experience with methodologies that were previously unavailable at the introductory level; to provide the means to explore more actively the methologies and often encyclopedic content of introductory psychology; to teach the use of network-available library resources; and to exploit the potential of networked stations to collect, collate, and display data so that students have more time for interpretation and consideration of possible alternative hypotheses.
