Optimization of Studio Physics using Workshop Physics

物理（13）该项目正在进行一个显着增强工作室物理我在伦斯勒理工学院课程。课程修订的重点是将课程中目前使用的许多学生活动替换为改编自基于微计算机的交互式讲座演示、“真实的时间”物理和车间物理的材料。一旦一项新的活动被开发出来，它将经历一个连续的课堂测试和评估其有效性的周期。该项目的目的是通过提高学生在课堂上参与的活动的质量来改善学生在伦斯勒工作室物理I课程中的学习。本次课程修订的主要动机是，学生的概念学习水平在工作室物理我当然是不高于传统结构的课程。这是真的，尽管一个进步的班级结构，协作小组工作，在教室里的计算机，并在教师资源分配给介绍物理程序的增加。因此，该项目的主要目标是提高学生的学习能力，重点是概念理解和将指导性探究活动纳入课程，目的是让学生接触科学，将其作为一个过程。

Physics (13) This project is undertaking a significant enhancement of the Studio Physics I curriculum at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The curricular revision is focused on the replacement of many of the student activities currently used in the course with materials adapted from Microcomputer Based Interactive Lecture Demonstrations, "Real Time" Physics and Workshop Physics. Once a new activity has been developed, it undergoes a continuous cycle of classroom testing and assessment of its effectiveness. The aim of this project is to improve student learning in the Studio Physics I course at Rensselaer by improving the quality of the activities in which students engage during their time in the classroom. The primary motivation for this curricular revision is that the level of student conceptual learning in the Studio Physics I course is no higher than that found in traditionally structured courses. This is true, despite a progressive class structure, collaborative group work, computers in the classroom, and an increase in the faculty resources allocated to the introductory physics program. Hence, the primary goals of this project focus on increased student learning, with an emphasis on conceptual understanding and incorporation of guided inquiry activities into the curriculum, with the aim of providing students with exposure to science as a process.
