ACTION PHYSICS: Science and Mathematics Education through the Physics of Movement

行动物理学旨在培训纽约市60名中学教师(为期三年，每年20名)基本物理概念。培训将使教师参与制定和实施一系列活动，这些活动利用体育、舞蹈和身体运动的概念作为学习的实验背景。该项目将加强教师在这一激励框架中使用各种教学策略呈现物理概念的能力。该项目是由教育高级研究中心(CUNY)、布鲁克林学院、CUNY物理系、纽约市教育委员会、纽约州教育和研究网络(NYSERnet)、美国物理学会、纽约科学院和未来学校研究所合作完成的。参与者将获得部分课程作业的研究生学分，他们将可以在教室里使用电脑，并有资格参加纽约市的一个项目，该项目将电脑借给教师在家中使用。使用计算机将使教师能够在他们之间以及与参与该项目的科学家之间以及与使用NYSERnet和因特网的有关团体和个人之间建立电子网络。

ACTION PHYSICS is intended to train 60 New York City middle school teachers (20 per year for three years) in New York City in basic physics concepts. The training will involve teachers in the development and implementation of a series of activities which utilize the concepts of sports and dance and body movement as the experimental context for learning. The project will strengthen teachers' abilities to use a variety of teaching strategies to present physics concepts in this motivating framework. The project is a cooperative effort of the Center for Advanced Study in Education (CUNY), Brooklyn College, CUNY Physics Department, The New York City Board of Education, the New York State Education and Research Network (NYSERnet), the American Physical Society, the New York Academy of Sciences, and The Institute for Schools of the Future. Participants, who will receive graduate credit for some of the coursework taken, will have access to computers in the classrooms and will be eligible for a New York City program which loans computers to teachers for use in their homes. Access to the computers will enable the teachers to participate in electronic networking among themselves and with scientists associated with the project and with related groups and persons who use the NYSERnet and Internet.
