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

Prop ID：Rec-0633951标题：创建、协调和激活物理和数学学习中的资源PI：Wittmann，Michael C.机构：缅因州大学这个项目旨在研究物理、力学和数学方面的大学入门课程。研究问题涉及学生能够跨语境(例如在数学和物理之间)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独的资源或协调的网络。研究人员将进行临床访谈、小组访谈，并对调查问题以及课堂和帮助会议上的视频进行统计分析。将对收集的数据进行分析，以描述学生在完善数学和物理推理技能时的发展情况。缅因州大学的一小群学生(15人)将成为这项研究的对象。该项目的成果有望成为“更好的学生推理和学习模型”。评价者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结果。将为包括物理学在内的所有教育研究协会准备论文。

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.
