Physics (13) This project improves student conceptual and epistemological knowledge in the sciences while developing a template for formative assessment in a general education course at the University of Maine. A general education course in Intuitive Quantum Physics is being created in which non-science students learn quantum physics through simple observations, basic logical reasoning, and graphical analysis. Materials from three proven curricula are being adapted to include explicit discussions of epistemological issues. The three curricula (developed in part with NSF funding) that are being adapted to create the Intuitive Quantum Physics course include Activity-Based Tutorials in wave mechanics, New Model Course in Applied Quantum Physics, and materials from Tutorials in Introductory Physics. Through these experiences, students become aware of their thinking and why they can believe seemingly counter-intuitive ideas. Students leave the course with deeper understanding of the process of science, confidence in their capacity for seemingly difficult and counter-intuitive physics, and deeper conceptual knowledge of modern physics. Results from the course are being shared at the university, state, and national levels.

物理（13）这个项目提高了学生的概念和认识论知识的科学，同时开发了一个模板，形成性评估在缅因州大学的通识教育课程。 正在创建直观量子物理学的通识教育课程，非理科学生通过简单的观察，基本的逻辑推理和图形分析来学习量子物理学。 目前正在对三个经过验证的课程的材料进行改编，以包括对认识论问题的明确讨论。 三门课程（部分由NSF资助开发）正在适应创建直观的量子物理学课程，包括波动力学中的基于活动的教程，应用量子物理学的新模型课程以及入门物理学教程中的材料。 通过这些经历，学生们意识到他们的想法，以及为什么他们会相信看似违反直觉的想法。 学生离开科学的过程有更深的理解，在他们的能力，看似困难和反直觉的物理学的信心，以及现代物理学的更深层次的概念知识的课程。该课程的成果正在大学、州和国家一级分享。
