Doing and Thinking Physics at the Secondary Level

本项目将开发一套教材， 伴随着多媒体，视频光盘包：物理： 经典电影 教师被视为领导者 在他们的职业范围内将编写和测试材料。 这三张双面影碟按主题编排， 完全索引的条形码，便于使用。 教学 材料将提供一个视频光盘文本的概述， 所涵盖的物理概念，教学思想， 实验室练习。 学生评估工具将 由项目人员开发和测试， 学生的概念性知识。 现场测试还将 发生在缺乏经验的教师和高水平的网站 以确定材料是否有用 广泛的教师技能和培训。 发行将通过商业出版商进行， 由美国物理教师协会选出 （AAPT）。 项目人员将提供关于使用 在一系列区域会议上， 和全国AAPT会议。

This project will develop a set of teaching materials to accompany the multimedia, videodisc package: Physics: Cinema Classics. Classroom teachers recognized as leaders within their profession will write and test the materials. The three two-sided videodiscs are organized by themes and fully indexed with bar codes for ease of use. The teaching materials will provide an overview of the videodisc text, the physics concepts being covered, teaching ideas, and laboratory exercises. A student assessment instrument will be developed and tested by project personnel to evaluate the students' conceptual knowledge. Field testing will also occur at sites with inexperienced teachers and high levels of minorities to determine the usefulness of the materials for a wide range of teacher skill and training. Distribution will occur through a commercial publisher being selected by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). Project personnel will provide training on the use of the complete set of the materials at a series of regional and national AAPT conferences.
