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

物理(13)在整个物理系的参与下，这个项目寻求：(A)改善所有参加以代数和微积分为基础的物理入门课程的学生的学习，其中40%是女性；(B)通过确定学生在授课前、授课期间和授课后的智力和情感状态，为物理学习和教学的研究基础做出贡献；(C)让STEM学科的高级本科生和研究生沉浸在一个技术丰富、研究驱动的教学环境中，作为同行导师和研究人员；(D)为项目教员和高级学生提供专业发展；以及(E)让STEM学科和科学教育领域的所有教员了解这一项目的结果。实现所寻求的广泛影响的主要工具是实施和改编根据物理教育研究开发的示范性教学材料中的选定单元：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。通过伊利诺伊大学基于网络的作业系统Tycho提供的互动实例的实施和改进，帮助学生提高他们的定量问题解决能力。微积分序列前两个季度中的一个部分的学生也参与其中。教师和学生正在进行的研究指导着这一系统性项目的每一个组成部分。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.
