Vermont Physics Initiative - Improving Quantum Mechanics Undergraduate Education and Strengthening High School Teacher Preparation

通过采用和调整俄勒冈州立大学开发的物理学课程材料范例，该项目致力于改善佛蒙特大学二年级现代物理学课程和三、四年级量子力学课程的本科教育。除了使用这些课程材料外，该项目还使用经过验证的评估工具来衡量学生知识的增长，并通过使用纵向调查来评估关于现代物理学和量子力学概念的本体论信念的演变。传播是专门针对其他物理系在佛蒙特州。

By adopting and adapting the Paradigm in Physics curricular materials developed at Oregon State University, this project is working to improve undergraduate education in a second-year modern physics course and in a third/fourth-year quantum mechanics course at the University of Vermont. In addition to using these course materials, the project is using validated assessment instruments to measure increases in student knowledge and, through the use of longitudinal surveys, to assess the evolution of ontological beliefs about modern physics and quantum mechanical concepts. Dissemination is specifically targeted at other physics departments in the state of Vermont.
