Creation, Coordination, and Activation of Resources in Physics and Mathematics Learning

项目ID：REC-0633951标题： 物理和数学学习资源的创造、协调和激活 作者：Michael C. 机构：缅因州大学这个项目旨在研究介绍大学水平的课程，在物理，力学和数学。 研究问题涉及学生能够跨上下文（如数学和物理之间）使用资源的过程，数学和物理中的想法如何形成资源网络，以及什么机制触发单个资源或协调网络。 研究人员将进行临床访谈，小组访谈，调查问题的统计分析以及课堂和帮助会议的视频。 收集的数据将进行分析，以描述学生在提高数学和物理推理技能时的发展情况。 缅因州大学的一小组学生（15人）将成为研究的对象。该项目的成果有望成为“学生推理和学习的更好模型”。 评论家们特别感兴趣的是关于数学和物理学习之间联系的可能有用的观察。 将为包括物理学在内的所有教育研究协会编写论文。

Prop ID: REC-0633951 Title: Creation, Coordination, and Activation of Resources in Physics and Mathematics Learning PI: Wittmann, Michael C. Institution: University of Maine This project seeks to study introductory college level courses in physics, mechanics, and mathematics. The research questions involve the processes by which students become able to use resources across contexts (such as between mathematics and physics), how ideas in math and physics form a resource network, and what mechanisms trigger individual resources or coordinated networks. The researcher will conduct clinical interviews, small group interviews, and statistical analysis of survey questions as well as videos from classroom and help sessions. The data being collected would be analyzed for purpose of describing the development of students as they refine skills in mathematics and physical reasoning. A small group of students (15) at the University of Maine will be the subject of the study.The outcome of this project is expected to be a "better model of student reasoning and learning". The reviewers were particularly interested in the possibly useful observations about the connections between mathematics and physics learning. Papers would be prepared for all education research associations, including physics.
