项目摘要

This award supports the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experience for Teachers (RET) site in Physics at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. In order to encourage students to pursue careers in scientific research, the REU/RET site provides an opportunity for students and high school teachers to participate first hand in cutting-edge scientific research in astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, cosmology, high energy particle physics, nuclear physics, physics education, and space and planetary physics. The students receive guidance in applying to graduate school, and preparing for the Graduate Record Examination in Physics. Students get experience and coaching on effective scientific communication, including the writing of a research report, a poster presentation, and an oral presentation of their research results. Both students and teachers participate in safety and ethics sessions to prepare them for physics research. To emphasize the bigger intellectual picture, both populations are introduced to frontier physics research outside the subject in which they are doing research. The high school teachers are also introduced to the latest research on pedagogy and encouraged to integrate their research experiences into their teaching by the Physics Education Research Group. The teachers benefit from their interaction with the students in the REU program as do the students in their interaction with the teachers.

该奖项支持明尼苏达大学双城分校物理学本科生研究经验（REU）和教师研究经验（RET）网站。为了鼓励学生从事科研事业，REU/RET网站为学生和高中教师提供了一个机会，让他们直接参与天体物理学，生物物理学，凝聚态物理学，宇宙学，高能粒子物理学，核物理学，物理学教育以及空间和行星物理学的前沿科学研究。学生在申请研究生院和准备物理学研究生入学考试方面得到指导。学生获得有效的科学交流的经验和指导，包括撰写研究报告，海报演示和口头介绍他们的研究成果。学生和教师都参加安全和道德会议，为物理研究做准备。为了强调更大的知识图景，这两个群体都被引入了他们正在研究的学科之外的前沿物理研究。物理教育研究小组还向中学教师介绍了最新的教育学研究，并鼓励他们将研究经验融入教学中。教师受益于他们与学生在REU计划的互动，做学生在他们与教师的互动。
