Physics (13)An interactive engagement teaching approach using Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) is being implemented as a classroom interaction system and three different aspects of the implementation are being investigated. First, how does the interactive engagement teaching approach affect the conceptual understanding and problem solving performance of the introductory physics students? Second, how does the interactive engagement teaching approach affect students' motivation to learn physics concepts? And third, how does this teaching approach being implemented by traditional research faculty affect their pedagogical orientation? The project is making a significant and unique contribution to physics and science education by studying implementation issues associated with using PDAs as a classroom interaction system at a predominantly Hispanic institution. The curriculum materials resulting from the implementation of this teaching approach are available for physics educators and curriculum developers and the research results provide an empirical basis for improving physics and science education at minority serving institutions where the majority of students are non-native English speakers.

物理（13）使用个人数字助理（PDA）的互动参与式教学方法正在实施为课堂互动系统，并正在研究实施的三个不同方面。 第一，互动参与教学法如何影响物理导论学生的概念理解和问题解决表现？ 第二，互动参与教学法如何影响学生学习物理概念的动机？第三，这种教学方法是如何被传统的研究型教师实施影响他们的教学取向？ 该项目是一个重要的和独特的贡献，物理和科学教育，通过研究与使用PDA作为课堂互动系统在一个主要是西班牙裔机构的实施问题。实施这种教学方法所产生的课程材料可供物理教育工作者和课程开发者使用，研究结果为改善少数民族服务机构的物理和科学教育提供了经验基础，这些机构的大多数学生都是非英语母语的学生。
