The Activity Based Physics Faculty Institutes

该项目改善了许多大学生的本科物理入门教学，包括代表性不足和准备不足的人群，通过改变他们的学习环境，以更积极的。基于活动的物理小组通过以下方式实现这一目标：1）识别和招募有兴趣改变教学、在课堂上进行行动研究以及与同事分享新方法的教师; 2）使用基于活动的物理套件中的课程和工具，在俄勒冈州和迪金森学院开发和展示一系列基于活动的物理研究所;（3）建立和维持后续行动和支助机制，以帮助执行;（4）在防止酷刑和其他残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚措施国家会议上组织后续会议。 项目活动直接涉及160名教师，影响到约60 000名学生，其中许多来自代表性不足和准备不足的群体。项目中的工作人员和参与者传播活动确保了影响将更加广泛。

This project improves undergraduate introductory physics instruction for many college students, including under-represented and under-prepared populations, by changing their learning environment to a more active one. The Activity Based Physics Group achieves this goal by 1) identifying and recruiting faculty who are interested in changing their teaching, conducting action research in their classrooms, and sharing new approaches with colleagues; 2) developing and presenting a series of Activity Based Physics Institutes at the University of Oregon and Dickinson College using curricula and tools from the Activity Based Physics Suite; 3) creating and maintaining follow-up and support mechanisms to help implementation; and 4) organizing follow-up sessions at national AAPT meetings. Project activities directly reach 160 faculty and affect an estimated 60,000 students, many from under-represented and under-prepared groups. Staff and participant dissemination activities built into the project assure that the impact will be much broader.
