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.

物理学（13）本项目对伦斯勒理工学院的工作室物理I课程进行了重大改进。课程修订的重点是用改编自基于微型计算机的互动讲座演示、“实时”物理和讲习班物理的材料取代课程中目前使用的许多学生活动。一旦一项新的活动被开发出来，它就会经历一个持续的课堂测试和评估其有效性的循环。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提高学生在伦斯勒工作室物理I课程的学习。本次课程修订的主要动机是学生在Studio Physics I课程中的概念学习水平并不高于传统结构课程的水平。这是事实，尽管有一个进步的班级结构，协作的小组工作，教室里的电脑，以及分配给介绍性物理课程的教师资源的增加。因此，该项目的主要目标是增加学生的学习，强调概念理解和将指导探究活动纳入课程，目的是为学生提供接触科学的过程。
