Physics (13). The proposal addresses a specific problem at two-year colleges through the use of an innovative technological solution created by a Physics Education Research (PER) team at a major research university. It implements a technologically advanced on-line tutoring system while simultaneously documenting its effects on two-year college engineering and science students. It has three objectives: (1) improve students' conceptual understanding of physics by providing them with an online tutoring system, TYCHO, (2) increase the knowledge base of the physics education research community by documenting the effect of the TYCHO system on students at a two year college, and (3) provide additional organization and structure to the TYCHO system for use by other colleges and universities. TYCHO's success has been documented in use at the four-year university, but its use at a two-year college allows for testing a significantly different student population both in terms of academic preparation for post-secondary education and economic status. An external group will evaluate both quantitative student results from a standardized conceptual examination and qualitative student feedback on the course evaluation form. The outcomes are to increase student test scores, disseminate results via publications and presentations at professional meetings, and create a user-friendly system for other institutions.

物理学（13）.该提案通过使用由一所主要研究型大学的物理教育研究（PER）团队创建的创新技术解决方案来解决两年制大学的具体问题。它实现了一个技术先进的在线辅导系统，同时记录其对两年制大学工程和科学学生的影响。它有三个目标：（1）通过为学生提供在线辅导系统TYCHO来提高他们对物理的概念性理解，（2）通过记录TYCHO系统对两年制大学学生的影响来增加物理教育研究团体的知识基础，以及（3）为TYCHO系统提供额外的组织和结构以供其他学院和大学使用。TYCHO在四年制大学中的成功已有记录，但在两年制大学中的使用允许测试在中学后教育的学术准备和经济状况方面明显不同的学生群体。一个外部小组将评估学生从标准化概念考试中获得的定量结果和学生对课程评估表的定性反馈。其结果是提高学生的考试成绩，通过出版物和专业会议上的演讲传播结果，并为其他机构创建一个用户友好的系统。
