Development of interactive physics class based on coordination between high schools and universities

我们组织了一个由大学教职员工和高中物理教师组成的学习小组，对课堂活动进行了实践研究，目的是在学生中树立物理观念。我们注重教师与学生之间以及学生之间以讨论为基础的双向互动活动。我们制定了力学和动力学的课堂活动计划，并在此基础上对自愿参加的高中生进行了试行校外课程，并分析了学生的反应。在分析的基础上，我们进一步制定了课程方案，并在大学和高中的实际课堂上进行了实践。我们证实，所开发的计划对学习者理解物理概念是非常有效的。我们还证实，在学习者之间的讨论中，教师的角色对于通过提出适当的问题来激发学生的问题意识和反应至关重要。

We organized a study group of university staff and high school teachers of physics to study classroom activities practically with aiming establishment of concepts of physics among students. We focused on discussion-based bi-directional interactive activities between teachers and students as well as among students themselves. We developed a class-room activity plan of mechanics and dynamics, and carried out a trial extramural course based on it to high school students who participated voluntarily, and analyzed reactions of students. Based on the analysis, we further developed the curriculum plan and practiced it in real classrooms both in universities and high schools. We confirmed that the developed plan is very effective in learners' understanding of concepts of physics. We also confirmed that during discussions among learners, teachers' role is essentially important to bring out learners' awareness of issues and responses by putting appropriate questions.
