Tennessee Constructing Understanding in Physics

中田纳西州立大学物理与天文系为物理教师提出了一个为期4年的强化计划。该计划的教学基础是国家项目“在计算机支持的学习环境中构建物理理解（CPU）”，该项目由圣地亚哥州立大学在国家科学基金会的支持下开发。已经开发了光和颜色，静电和磁力，电流，运动和力，波和小粒子模型的模块。来自田纳西州的一个教师团队参加了由CPU项目的PI F. Goldberg教授在圣地亚哥举行的会议。这个团队将与75名物理老师一起工作。在为期6周的两个暑假期间，在学年期间进行后续会议，教师参与者将完成CPU项目的4个模块，并实践发现实验室活动来补充CPU。

The pedagogical basis for the program is the national project "Constructing Physics Understanding (CPU) in a Computer Supported Learning Environment" developed at San Diego State University with the support of the National Science Foundation. Modules have been developed for Light and Color, Static Electricity and Magnetism, Current Electricity, Motion and Forces, Waves and the the Small Particle Model. A faculty team from Tennessee has attended the sessions in San Diego delivered by Professor F. Goldberg, the PI on the CPU project. This team will work with the 75 physics teachers.During a 6-week period spanning two summers, with follow up meetings during the academic year, teacher participants will complete 4 modules of the CPU program and practice discovery laboratory activities that complement CPU.
