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

（13）在整个物理系的参与下，该项目力求：（a）改善所有学习代数和微积分基础物理入门课程的学生的学习，其中40%是女生;（B）通过确定学生在上课前、上课期间和上课后的智力和情感状态，促进物理学学习和教学的研究基础;（c）让高级本科生沉浸在STEM学科中，让研究生沉浸在副教师准备计划中，在技术丰富，研究驱动的教学环境中担任同伴导师和研究人员;（d）为项目教师和高级学生提供专业发展;以及（e）让STEM学科和科学教育的所有教师了解该项目的成果。实现所寻求的广泛影响的主要工具是实施和改编从示范性教学材料中选择的单元，这些教学材料是在物理教育研究的基础上开发的：华盛顿大学的物理入门教程，马里兰州大学的基于活动的物理教程和实时物理。通过Tycho，伊利诺伊大学的基于网络的家庭作业系统提供的交互式例子的实施和完善，帮助学生提高他们的定量问题解决。学生在一个部分的前两个季度的微积分序列也参与。教师和学生正在进行的研究指导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.
