Implementation of an Education Research Based Online Physics Tutoring System at a Two-Year College

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)团队创造的创新技术解决方案，解决了两年制大学的一个具体问题。它实施了一个技术先进的在线辅导系统，同时记录了它对两年制工科和理科学生的影响。它有三个目标：(1)通过向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系统对两年制学院学生的影响来增加物理教育研究社区的知识基础；以及(3)为Tycho系统提供额外的组织和结构，供其他学院和大学使用。Tycho的成功已经在这所四年制大学的使用中得到了记录，但它在两年制大学的使用允许测试一个显著不同的学生群体，无论是在专上教育的学术准备方面还是在经济地位方面。外部小组将评估标准化概念考试的量化学生结果和课程评估表上的定性学生反馈。其成果是提高学生的考试成绩，通过出版物和在专业会议上的演示来传播成绩，并为其他机构创建一个方便用户的系统。

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.
