Quantum States of Atoms and Molecules: A Linked and Layered Resource for Collaborative, Technology-Based Learning in Physical Chemistry

化学（12）我们正在开发一个完整的链接和分层资源，用于物理化学的基于技术的协作学习。《原子和分子的量子态》以先进的教学方法为基础，使用适当的计算机技术，在基本原理、物理现实、物理模型以及对现实和模型的数学描述之间建立了牢固的联系。这种资源在形式和结构上都将是非常规的。它旨在让学生参与学习过程，帮助他们培养信息处理、批判性思维和解决问题的技能。它还利用了关于成年人和年轻人如何学习的现有知识。该产品将由两部分组成：廉价的软皮文本和全面的多媒体CD。文本将以易于理解的散文风格呈现与光谱学相关的核心概念。整个文本将放在CD上，并提供网络和基于计算机的活动的主动超链接，使学生参与主动学习。一些超链接将指向动画和模拟，以提供概念、化学过程和分子级现象的戏剧性可视化。其他链接将连接到概念和数学补充，以提供更深入、详细的推导，并在化学背景下复习相关的数学概念。这样的链接应该使学生在需要了解的基础上更容易地复习材料，而不会有页面和章节打断叙述。最后一组链接指向Mathcad符号数学模板，这些模板既可以用于引导发现模式，也可以作为学生为指定的问题和活动构建自己的Mathcad文档的资源。教师手册和练习和问题的数值解决方案也正在为该项目创建。

Chemistry (12)We are developing a complete Linked and Layered Resource for Collaborative, Technology-Based Learning in Physical Chemistry. The resource, Quantum States of Atoms and Molecules, is grounded in progressive pedagogical methods, uses appropriate computer technology, and makes firm connections between fundamental principles, physical reality, physical models, and mathematical descriptions of reality and the models. The resource would be unconventional in both form and structure. It is designed to engage students in the process of learning and help them develop skills in information processing, critical thinking and problem solving. It also takes advantage of existing knowledge on how adults and young adults learn. The product would consist of two parts: an inexpensive soft-cover text and a comprehensive multimedia CD. The text would present the core concepts linked to spectroscopy in an easy to understand prose style. The entire text would be on the CD with active hyperlinks to web and computer-based activities that engage students in active learning. Some hyperlinks would point to animations and simulations to provide dramatic visualization of concepts, chemical processes, and molecular-level phenomena. Other links would connect to concept and math supplements to provide greater depth, detailed derivations, and review relevant math concepts within a chemistry context. Such linking should make it easy for students to review material on a need to know basis as they advance through the text without having pages and sections that interrupt the narrative. A final set of links would point to Mathcad symbolic math templates that will be used in both a guided-discovery mode and as a resource for students in building their own Mathcad documents for assigned problems and activities. An instructor's manual and sets of numerical solutions to exercises and problems are also being created for the project.
