9819461HestenesPhysics is difficult to teach. New methods of teaching are clearly necessary. This proposal requests funding for a "Technology in Science Teaching" initiative based on adaptations of successful programs in Physics. This involves the creation of regional Science and Education Technology PartnerShips (STEPS) through Local Physics Alliances of University Faculty and TeachersThe purpose of STEPs is to advise and assist physics departments in setting up partnerships with high school physics teachers to give them access to resources of the science community. STEPs uses a proven physics pedagogy (called the "modeling method") that fully satisfies the National Science Education Standards. An extensive restructuring of the physics curriculumalong "modeling-based instruction" is a part of the program. STEPs isdesined also to provide a systematic way to help teachers integrate new materials and activities into the high school curriculum. STEPS helps t o conduct and continuously refine workshops using tested methods that show significant gains in student's understanding of basic physics, using the Force Concept Inventory, the Mechanic's Baseline Test and other evaluative tools.

[09:46 . 61]物理学很难教。新的教学方法显然是必要的。该提案要求为“科学教学中的技术”倡议提供资金，该倡议基于对物理学成功项目的改编。这包括通过大学教师和教师的地方物理联盟建立区域科学与教育技术伙伴关系（STEPS）。STEPS的目的是建议和协助物理系与高中物理教师建立伙伴关系，使他们能够获得科学界的资源。STEPs采用一种经过验证的物理教学法（称为“建模法”），完全满足国家科学教育标准。根据“基于建模的教学”对物理课程进行广泛的重组是该计划的一部分。STEPs还旨在提供一种系统的方法来帮助教师将新材料和活动整合到高中课程中。STEPS通过使用力概念清单、机械师基线测试和其他评估工具，帮助学生使用经过测试的方法，在学生对基础物理的理解方面取得重大进展，并不断改进讲习班。
