Adaptation and implementation of Research-based Curricula in Introductory Physics Courses

物理（13）在整个物理系的参与下，该项目旨在：(a)提高所有学习代数和微积分基础物理入门课程的学生的学习水平，其中40%是女性；(b)通过识别学生在教学前、教学中和教学后的智力和情感状态，为物理学习和教学的研究基础作出贡献；(c)让STEM学科的高级本科生和研究生在一个技术丰富、以研究为导向的教学环境中参与职前教师准备计划，作为同行导师和研究人员；(d)为项目教师和高级学生提供专业发展；(e)让STEM学科和科学教育领域的所有教师都了解该项目的成果。实现广泛影响的主要手段是从基于物理教育研究开发的示范教学材料中选择单元的实施和改编：华盛顿大学的入门物理教程，马里兰大学的基于活动的物理教程和实时物理。通过伊利诺伊大学网络作业系统Tycho提供的交互式示例的实施和改进，帮助学生提高他们解决定量问题的能力。在微积分序列的前两个季度的一个部分的学生也参加。教师和学生正在进行的研究指导了这个系统项目的每个组成部分。结果在地方和全国范围内传播。

Physics (13) With involvement of the entire physics department, this project seeks to: (a) improve learning for all students who take algebra- and calculus-based introductory physics courses, 40% of whom are women; (b) contribute to the research base on the learning and teaching of physics through identification of the intellectual and affective states of students before, during, and after instruction; (c) immerse advanced undergraduate students in STEM disciplines and graduate students in the preservice teacher preparation program in a technology-rich, research-driven instructional environment as peer instructors and researchers; (d) provide professional development to the project faculty and advanced students; and (e) expose all faculty in STEM disciplines and Science Education to the results of this project. The primary vehicle for achieving the broad impact sought is the implementation and adaptation of selected units from exemplary instructional materials that have been developed on the basis of physics education research: University of Washington's Tutorials in Introductory Physics, University of Maryland's Activity-based Physics tutorials, and RealTime Physics. The implementation and refinement of Interactive Examples delivered via Tycho, the University of Illinois web-based homework system, assist students to sharpen their quantitative problem solving. Students in one section of the first two quarters of the calculus sequence also participate. Ongoing research by faculty and students guide every component of this systemic project. Results are disseminated locally and nationally.
