Computer-Assisted Data Acquisition in Introductory Physics Laboratories at the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University

Alice L. Bean DUE 9551883堪萨斯大学主校区1995财年$ 49,856 Lawrence， KS 66045 ILI -仪器仪表项目：物理堪萨斯大学物理与天文学系和哈斯凯尔印第安民族大学将合作为他们的介绍性物理实验室开发几个计算机辅助实验。这些实验将通过让学生直接将课堂形式与实验室观察联系起来，加强力学、静电学和热力学概念的教学。这些实验将由堪萨斯大学高级设计实验室的学生完成，在进行实验的过程中，重点将放在测量所提供的教学法上。美国最重要的印第安人学院坐落在一所主要研究型大学旁边，这种独特的情况将被利用，首先引入在哈斯克尔环境中开发的实验，在那里，班级规模小，个性化教学是可能的。在Haskell优化实验程序后，实验将被纳入堪萨斯序列。除了加强两所大学的课程外，这种合作关系应该有助于那些希望转学到其他大学的哈斯克尔学生，通过更好地协调他们与堪萨斯大学的教学大纲。目前，哈斯克尔无法提供理科学士学位。通过吸引来自哈斯克尔项目的感兴趣的学生，堪萨斯大学将实现科学领域更大的文化多样性。

Alice L. Bean DUE 9551883 U of Kansas Main Campus FY1995 $ 49,856 Lawrence, KS 66045 ILI - Instrumentation Project: Physics Title: Computer-Assisted Data Acquisition in Introductory Physics Laboratories at the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University The University of Kansas Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Haskell Indian Nations University will collaborate on the development of several computer-aided experiments for their introductory physics laboratories. These experiments will bolster the instruction of concepts in mechanics, electrostatics, and thermodynamics by allowing students to relate classroom formalism directly to laboratory observations. In developing the experiments, which will be done by students enrolled in an advanced design laboratory at the University of Kansas, an emphasis will be placed on the pedagogy offered by the measurements. The unique situation, which has the nation's foremost Native American college located next to a major research university, will be utilized by initially introducing the experiments that are developed at Kansas in the Haskell setting, where the class sizes are small and individualized instruction is possible. After the experimental procedures are optimized at Haskell, the experiments will then be incorporated into the Kansas sequence. In addition to strengthening the courses at both institutions, this partnership should help Haskell students who wish to transfer to other institutions through a better coordination of their syllabus with that at Kansas. At present, Haskell is unable to offer a baccalaureate degree in the sciences. Greater cultural diversity in the sciences will be achieved at Kansas by attracting interested students from the Haskell program.
