ABSTRACTProposal #: DUE-0231268Title: Quantifying the Effectiveness of an Interactive Physics Problem LibraryInstitution: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyPI: David E PritchardThis project builds on previous National Science Foundation funding of a web-based interactive problem library. The project library has been developed over the past several years and has amassed a library of nearly 1000 interactive, pedagogically sound, introductory physics problems. These problems have been tested in several settings, and recently Addison-Wesley licensed the entire system under the name "Mastering Physics" for inclusion with several of its introductory physics texts. Despite these successes, the library has not been more widely adopted. This project demonstrates, to a wider audience, the effectiveness of their interactive tutoring concept. In this project the interactive tutoring system is being tested at a number of institutions around the country using rigorous educational research techniques to determine the effective learning gains enjoyed by users of this system over traditional written homework or other homework systems. The results of these studies are being prepared for publication in peer reviewed journals and presentations for physics instructors as well as the Physics Education Research community. We will publish several journal articles within the first year of the project demonstrating the results.

摘要提案编号：题目：量化交互式物理问题库的有效性机构：马萨诸塞州理工学院PI：大卫E普里查德这个项目建立在以前国家科学基金会资助的基于网络的交互式问题库的基础上。 该项目库是在过去几年中开发的，已经积累了近1000个交互式、教学合理的入门物理问题。 这些问题已经在几个设置中进行了测试，最近Addison-Wesley以“掌握物理学”的名义授权了整个系统，以包含在几个介绍性的物理学教科书中。 尽管取得了这些成功，但图书馆并没有得到更广泛的采用。 该项目向更广泛的受众展示了他们互动辅导概念的有效性。 在这个项目中，交互式辅导系统正在全国各地的一些机构进行测试，使用严格的教育研究技术，以确定这一系统的用户比传统的书面家庭作业或其他家庭作业系统更能有效地学习。 这些研究的结果正在准备发表在同行评审的期刊上，并为物理教师和物理教育研究社区做演讲。 我们将在项目的第一年内发表几篇期刊文章来展示结果。
