Collaborative Research: From Dissemination to Adoption: A Study of the Instructional Change Process in Faculty Most Likely to Succeed

物理（13）这两个阶段的项目是指导努力，鼓励在大学物理教学中使用基于研究的教学策略。该项目正在研究一般的教学变革过程，确定变革的障碍，并确定变革的启示。第一阶段的目标是观察变化过程。正在进行一项为期五个学期的纵向研究，研究对象是参加了NSF支持的物理学和天文学新教师研讨会并表示愿意参与教学变革的15名教师。这项研究允许检查的变化，教学理念和做法，因为它们发生在实际的课程设置在很长一段时间。数据包括在每个学期开始和结束时进行的教师访谈，整个学期每三周进行一次的教师调查，以及教学文物。在研究的第二阶段，正在对过去五年参加新教师研讨会的所有教师进行调查。这第二个教师队列提供了一系列的参与者的研究-从那些谁刚刚经历了研讨会的那些谁有大量的时间来纳入和反思他们的研讨会的经验，并寻求有关教学创新的额外信息。第二项研究的重点是测试的想法产生的纵向研究的结果，并产生更普遍的结果，因为更大的样本量。

Physics (13) This two-phased project is guiding efforts to encourage the use of research-based teaching strategies in college-level physics instruction. The project is studying the instructional change process in general, identifying barriers to change, and identifying change affordances. The goal of the first phase is to observe the change process as it happens. A five-semester longitudinal study of fifteen faculty who have participated in the NSF-supported Physics and Astronomy New Faculty Workshop and who have indicated a willingness to engage in instructional change is being conducted. This study allows the examination of changes in instructional beliefs and practices as they happen in actual course settings over an extended period of time. Data include faculty interviews conducted at the beginning and end of each semester, surveys of the faculty conducted every three weeks throughout the semester, and teaching artifacts. For the study's second phase, all faculty who have participated in the New Faculty Workshop for the past five years are being surveyed. This second faculty cohort provides the study with a range of participants - from those who have just experienced the workshop to those who have had significant time to incorporate and reflect on their workshop experiences and to seek additional information about instructional innovations. The second study focuses on testing ideas generated as a result of the longitudinal study and on generating more generalized results because of the larger sample size.
