Abstract The Problem: The ineffectiveness of lecture instruction in helping students acquire conceptual knowledge and real world skills in complex problem solving, collaboration, and communication. This problem exists at the introductory level as well as in the upper level courses for physics majors. Objectives: Implement group-based active learning instructional systems at the introductory, and sophomore levels. Methods: Using an active group learning format, we will build a conceptual foundation leading to the solution of complex problems with interesting context. The instruction will involve tools such as: interactive computer simulation questions and problems; computer visualization, modeling and problem solving; and conceptual and more complex experiment problems. Special audiences: Engineering students, undergraduate physics majors, and underrepresented groups in physics, including women and domestic minorities. Collaborations: Through participation in a restructuring program in the College of Engineering, faculty in engineering, math and chemistry. Significance/impact: The project will develop a teaching approach, complete with teaching kits and materials, whose full implementation will result in a major modification of first and second-year instruction for students in physics, chemistry and engineering. Through participation in restructuring in the introductory engineering curriculum, the pedagogy will be disseminated beyond physics. Dissemination of the materials nationally will help promote active learning nationally. Completion rates for groups traditionally underrepresented in physics will improve with no sacrifice in learning. The means for achieving these goals and impacts are described in greater detail in the full proposal.

摘要 问题：课堂教学在帮助学生获得概念知识和真实的世界技能，解决复杂问题，合作和沟通方面的无效性。 这一问题不仅存在于物理专业的入门级课程，也存在于物理专业的高级课程。 目标：在入门和二年级实施以小组为基础的主动学习教学系统。 研究方法：使用积极的小组学习形式，我们将建立一个概念基础，导致复杂问题的解决方案与有趣的背景。 该指令将涉及的工具，如：交互式计算机模拟问题和问题;计算机可视化，建模和解决问题;和概念和更复杂的实验问题。 特别观众：工程专业的学生，物理专业的本科生，以及在物理学中代表性不足的群体，包括妇女和国内少数民族。 合作：通过参与工程学院的重组计划，工程、数学和化学教师。 意义/影响：该项目将制定一种教学方法，并配备成套教材和材料，其全面实施将导致对物理、化学和工程专业学生一年级和二年级教学的重大修改。 通过参与工程学入门课程的改革，教学法将传播到物理学之外。 在全国范围内传播这些材料将有助于在全国范围内促进积极学习。 传统上在物理学方面代表性不足的群体的完成率将在不牺牲学习的情况下得到提高。 实现这些目标和影响的手段在完整的提案中有更详细的说明。
