This project refines previously developed materials for introductory physics including research-based worksheets that show large conceptual learning gains in students. The project has a publisher willing to distribute these materials in an open-source format making them widely adaptable in a variety of educational settings. Further, the project is linking annotated video clips from their video library to assist TA development in effectively applying these materials. Three aspects of the development of these materials contribute to their success: (1) systematic attention to students' views of knowledge and learning; (2) last-minute adjustments to materials based on students' progress and needs; and (3) attention to helping teaching assistants (TAs) become better at attending and responding to student thinking, often by using videotaped TA-student interactions from recitation sections. With the application of the worksheets embodying these aspects, students are less likely to revert to passive learning (e.g., memorizing information from authority) in later classes. The worksheets show conceptual gains and also significantly improved student views about knowledge and learning.

该项目改进了以前开发的入门物理材料，包括以研究为基础的教学材料，这些材料显示学生在概念学习方面有很大的收获。 该项目有一个出版商愿意以开放源代码的格式分发这些材料，使其广泛适用于各种教育环境。 此外，该项目正在链接其视频库中的注释视频剪辑，以帮助技术援助开发人员有效地应用这些材料。 这些教材的开发有三个方面的成功：（1）系统地关注学生对知识和学习的看法;（2）根据学生的进步和需求对教材进行最后的调整;（3）注意帮助助教（TA）更好地关注和回应学生的思考，通常是通过使用复习课上TA与学生互动的录像。 随着体现这些方面的学习方法的应用，学生不太可能恢复到被动学习（例如，在以后的课程中，从权威那里记忆信息。该课程显示了概念上的收获，也显着改善了学生对知识和学习的看法。
