Electrostatic Tools for Learning and Assessment

物理（13）本项目的目标是制作一套易于管理、随时可用、课堂和学生可测试的静电（带电物体、静电场和电势）材料，可作为课堂材料、网络作业或家庭作业。此外，正在开发同一领域的评价前/评价后工具。这些重点材料将采用TIPERs（由物理教育研究启发的任务），这些任务很容易部分或整体地融入现有的课程和教学风格。第二阶段是在类似的磁学项目之后进行的，随后可能会在热力学、波和光学等领域进行阶段性的增量开发。这个项目是两年制学院和大学物理系之间的合作，这些学院有不同的、有代表性的学生群体。这个项目团队在教育研究以及开发和实施新的学习方法和评估方面经验丰富。这些材料正在几个机构进行课堂测试，并将以印刷版和电子版广泛提供。本项目促进了物理教育研究成果在课堂上的整合和应用，从而提高了大专院校学生的物理学习水平。

Physics (13) The objective of this project is to produce a collection of easy-to-administer, ready-to-use, classroom- and student-tested materials in electrostatics (electrically-charged objects, static electric fields, and electric potential) that can be used as classroom materials, web assignments, or homework assignments. In addition, pre/post- assessment tools in the same area are being developed. These focused materials will employ TIPERs (Tasks Inspired by Physics Education Research) that are easily incorporated partially or as a whole into existing courses and teaching styles. This second stage follows a similar project in magnetism and may be followed by incremental development in stages concentrating on areas such as thermodynamics, waves, and optics. This project is a collaboration between two-year college and university physics faculty from institutions that have diverse, representative student populations. This project team is experienced in educational research as well as developing and implementing new approaches to, and assessment of, learning. These materials are being classroom tested at several institutions and will be made available widely in both print and electronic versions. This project facilitates the incorporation and application of the results of physics education research into classrooms and thus improve the learning of physics by students at post-secondary education institutions.
