The primary goal of the Student-Centered Activities for Large Enrollment University Physics (SCALE-UP) Project is to determine the best way to establish a highly collaborative, hands-on, computer-rich, interactive learning environment in large-enrollment physics courses. We know from extensive educational research that students should collaborate on interesting tasks and be actively involved with the material they are learning. The physics department at North Carolina State University has had tremendous success with this type of course and would now like to "scale-up" the innovations so that students taking the large enrollment engineering physics courses can benefit. The project folds together lecture and lab with multiple instructors so that it should provide an economical solution to the problem. The project involves the development, evaluation, and dissemination of new curricular materials that will support this type of learning. The SCALE-UP Project has the potential to radically change the way physics is taught at large colleges and universities. The pedagogical techniques should be general enough to encourage similar reforms in other large science, engineering, and mathematics classes.

以学生为中心的大招生大学物理活动 (SCALE-UP) 项目的主要目标是确定在大招生物理课程中建立高度协作、实践、计算机丰富的交互式学习环境的最佳方法。我们从广泛的教育研究中得知，学生应该合作完成有趣的任务，并积极参与他们正在学习的材料。 北卡罗来纳州立大学物理系在此类课程上取得了巨大成功，现在希望“扩大”创新范围，以便参加大量工程物理课程的学生能够受益。该项目将讲座和实验室与多名讲师结合在一起，以便为问题提供经济的解决方案。该项目涉及开发、评估和传播支持此类学习的新课程材料。 SCALE-UP 项目有可能从根本上改变大型学院和大学的物理教学方式。教学技术应该足够通用，以鼓励其他大型科学、工程和数学课程进行类似的改革。
