Physics (13)This project is developing a web-based, validated instrument to monitor, as the academic term progresses, student understanding of a wide range of introductory physics concepts. The distinguishing feature of the approach is a between-student testing mode of inquiry that allows assessment on a weekly timescale. The system rests upon a well-established body of research on student learning, forgetting, re-learning, and interference. The system coordinates selecting students for testing, test administration, and real-time analysis for instructors. Detailed developmental information is provided in a timely manner with low burden to instructors and minimal intrusion on class time. Because large student numbers are necessary for statistical analysis, the system is particularly appropriate for the canonical "large lecture class" of 200-400 students (or larger). Rochester Institute of Technology is responsible for software development, Wabash College is overseeing question validation, and Emory University, Bucknell University, Rutgers University, and Johnson C. Smith University are beta testing the project. Workshops at national meetings of the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers will solicit additional beta-testers.

物理（13）这个项目正在开发一个基于网络的、经过验证的仪器，随着学期的进展，监测学生对广泛的介绍性物理概念的理解。该方法的显著特点是学生之间的调查测试模式，允许每周进行评估。这一体系建立在对学生学习、遗忘、再学习和干扰的研究基础之上。该系统协调学生的选拔、考试管理和教师的实时分析。及时提供详细的发展信息，减轻教师的负担，并尽量减少对课堂时间的干扰。由于统计分析需要大量学生，因此该系统特别适用于200-400名学生（或更多）的典型“大课”。罗切斯特理工学院负责软件开发，沃巴什学院监督问题验证，埃默里大学、巴克内尔大学、罗格斯大学和约翰逊c史密斯大学正在对该项目进行beta测试。美国物理学会和美国物理教师协会的全国会议研讨会将征求更多的beta测试者。
