Physics (13) The project is adapting and implementing exemplary research-based instructional strategies in a physics department at a multicultural urban college. The project involves the participation of a large fraction of the young and future faculty in the department. The group is working together to change the way introductory physics is taught in a particularly challenging context. The project focuses on strategies and curricula that are student-centered, based on physics education research, and that integrate advances in instructional technology, but that were all developed for a different audience. Most of the successful reform strategies require significant interactions among students and between students and instructor. Therefore the adaptation requires care, since students come from many different cultures and most speak English as a second language. The intellectual merit of this project is in using the tools of physics education research to systematically study how students learn and to develop an understanding of issues specific to the multicultural context. The project is having a significant impact within the department and institution. In addition, this project making a much broader impact nationally because the college is representative of a large number of multicultural urban colleges

物理（13）该项目是适应和实施示范性的研究为基础的教学策略，在一个多元文化的城市大学的物理系。该项目涉及部门的年轻和未来的教师的很大一部分的参与。该小组正在共同努力，以改变在一个特别具有挑战性的背景下教授入门物理学的方式。该项目侧重于以学生为中心的策略和课程，以物理教育研究为基础，并整合了教学技术的进步，但都是为不同的受众开发的。 大多数成功的改革策略都需要学生之间以及学生与教师之间的有效互动。因此，适应需要小心，因为学生来自许多不同的文化，大多数人说英语作为第二语言。该项目的智力价值在于利用物理教育研究工具系统地研究学生如何学习，并了解多元文化背景下的具体问题。该项目在部门和机构内产生了重大影响。此外，该项目在全国范围内产生了更广泛的影响，因为该学院是众多多元文化城市学院的代表
