Adaptation of Modern Equipment and Teaching Methods with Implementation in the Undergraduate Physics Laboratories

物理(13)该项目正在采用以问题为基础的学习，并将现代技术和现代教学方法注入物理专业本科实验室要求的头两年。这些课程为专业的实验物理方法和技术奠定了基础。通过对当前课程建设的全面考察，可以发现，运用社会心理学原理、现代教育方法和现代实验技术，可以使课程建设取得显著的进步。在实验室里，学生们没有被告知要测量什么，而是获得了现代设备和教授实验技术，使他们能够构建自己的测量。学生做的项目是在课程后面或其他课程中使用结果，将实验室的活动与实际情况联系起来。朝这一方向作出的初步努力产生了非常积极的结果。为了评估这一雄心勃勃的非传统方法，有一个由外部评估员实施的复杂的评估战略。该项目的成功不仅将使一家机构受益，还将使其他致力于本科实验室教育的机构受益。

Physics (13) The project is adapting problem-based learning and infusing modern technology and modern teaching methods into the required first two years of undergraduate laboratories for physics majors. These courses lay the foundation of experimental physics methods and techniques for majors. A thorough examination of the construction of the current courses reveals that significant improvements can be made by implementation of social psychological principles, modern educational methods and modern experimental techniques. In the laboratories, instead of being told what to measure, the students are given modern equipment and taught experimental techniques to enable them to construct their own measurements. Students do projects where the results are used later in the course or in other courses, connecting the activities of the laboratory to real situations. Preliminary efforts in this direction have produced strongly positive results. To evaluate this ambitious and non-traditional approach, there is a sophisticated assessment strategy to be administered by outside assessors. The success of this program will not only benefit one institution, but others dedicated to undergraduate laboratory education.
