Physics (13) The goal of this project is to develop and test new curricular materials for the introductory physics course that are to be used in large lecture classes. They are adaptations and modifications of Mazur's ConcepTests, and consist of carefully sequenced sets of multiple-choice questions, each focused on a specific topic. These are primarily conceptual questions which downplay algebraic manipulations, and are designed to be used in the context of a class organized along active-learning lines in which a classroom communication system is available. Intellectual Merit: This project contributes to the development of active-learning curricular materials for large-enrollment physics lecture classes. The strategically sequenced question sets represent a specific type of modification and adaptation of ConcepTests that have only been available in substantial quantities from the previous work of the Principal Investigator and his collaborators. Broader Impacts: This project has among its goals (1) develop research-based educational materials and creation of a database (of student response frequencies) useful in teaching; (2) involve graduate researchers in undergraduate teaching activities; (3) participate in developing new approaches (e.g., use of interactive lecture instruction) to engage underserved individuals and groups (i.e., female physics students); (4) make data available in a timely manner by means such as CD-ROMs; (5) publish in diverse media (e.g., websites and CD-ROMs) to reach broad audiences; (6) integrate research on teaching and learning with education activities in order to communicate in a broader context, and (7) benefit society by increasing the effectiveness of undergraduate physics instruction.

物理 (13) 该项目的目标是开发和测试用于大型讲座的物理入门课程的新课程材料。它们是 Mazur 的概念测试的改编和修改，由精心排序的多组选择题组成，每个题都集中在一个特定的主题上。这些主要是概念性问题，淡化代数运算，旨在用于按照主动学习路线组织的课堂环境中，其中可以使用课堂交流系统。 智力优势：该项目有助于为大招生物理讲座课程开发主动学习的课程材料。战略性排序的问题集代表了 ConcepTests 的一种特定类型的修改和改编，这些修改和改编仅在首席研究员及其合作者之前的工作中大量可用。 更广泛的影响：该项目的目标之一是（1）开发基于研究的教育材料并创建对教学有用的数据库（学生反应频率）； （二）让研究生研究人员参与本科教学活动； (3) 参与开发新方法（例如，使用交互式讲座教学）来吸引服务不足的个人和群体（即女物理学生）； （四）通过光盘等方式及时提供数据； (5) 在多种媒体（例如网站和光盘）上发布以吸引广泛的受众； （6）将教学研究与教育活动相结合，以便在更广泛的背景下进行交流，（7）通过提高本科物理教学的有效性来造福社会。
