The goal of this project is to design and implement an inquiry based undergraduate physics course for preservice K-8 teachers which integrates scientific content knowledge with research based knowledge about teaching and learning science. Research evidence has been building to support inquiry-based lessons, student centered pedagogy such as cooperative learning and peer teaching, and computer based laboratory instruction as effective strategies to improve student learning. This project will implement and evaluate these strategies in Physics 100, "Concepts in Physics", an introductory course for future K-8 teachers. Of special concern are strategies to address ethnically diverse student populations. Teaching strategies such as "Science Content And Language Expansion" and programs such as "Cooperative Education" and "Multicultural Infusion" that have been effective in other disciplines will be tested in Physics 100. A collaboration between a professor of physics, professor of education, and teacher from the local school district will design Physics 100 and integrate it with the science methods course in the School of Education. This design and integration process will become a new paradigm for collaborations between science and education departments and lay the foundation for establishing a coordinated science curriculum for pre-service teachers which reflects National and State wide reform efforts in K-12 Science Education.

本项目的目标是设计和实施一个基于探究的本科物理课程，为在职K-8教师整合科学内容的知识与研究为基础的知识，教和学科学。研究证据已经建立，以支持探究为基础的课程，以学生为中心的教学法，如合作学习和同伴教学，以及基于计算机的实验室教学作为有效的策略，以提高学生的学习。本项目将在物理100，“物理概念”，未来的K-8教师的入门课程中实施和评估这些策略。 特别令人关切的是解决族裔多样化学生群体问题的战略。在其他学科中行之有效的“科学内容和语言扩展”等教学策略以及“合作教育”和“多元文化融合”等项目将在物理100中进行测试。 物理学教授，教育学教授和当地学区的教师之间的合作将设计物理100，并将其与教育学院的科学方法课程相结合。这一设计和整合过程将成为科学和教育部门之间合作的新范式，并为建立一个协调的科学课程的职前教师，反映了国家和国家范围内的K-12科学教育改革的努力奠定了基础。
