Participation of the Physics Research Community in Undergraduate Curriculum Development

美国物理学会将与美国物理教师协会合作，继续开展“物理研究社区参与本科课程开发”项目。前一笔赠款资助了两个讲习班：第一个讲习班于1990年6月在圣达菲举行，第二个讲习班于1990年11月在丹佛举行。讲习班在两个主要领域提出了具体建议：(1)用现代研究课题的成果灌输核心课程，(2)用现代实验提升初级/高级物理实验室，并传播好的实验。为了实现下一步，这两个领域的试点计划将由APS和AAPT监督。根据试点测试的结果，将制定完整的建议。

The American Physical Society, in cooperation with the American Association of Physics Teachers, will operate a continuation of the project, "Participation of the Physics Research Community in Undergraduate Curriculum Development". The previous grant supported two workshops: the first in Santa Fe in June 1990, and the second in Denver in November 1990. The workshops resulted in specific recommendations in two main areas: (1) the infusion of core courses with results from modern research topics, and (2) the upgrading of the junior/senior physics laboratory with modern experiments and the dissemination of good experiments. To achieve the next step, pilot programs in these two areas will be supervised by the APS and AAPT. Based on the results of the pilot testing, full proposals will be developed.
