U.S.- Australia Cooperative Research: Student Learning of Physics

9317329 Goldberg该奖项将资助圣地亚哥州立大学物理系的Fred Goldberg博士与墨尔本莫纳什大学科学、数学和技术教育中心主任Richard Gunstone博士进行为期两年的关于学生物理学习的合作研究。该项目有三个目标，以满足物理教育界的需求：开发工具和方法，以探索学生对物理知识的结构和内容以及教与学的信念；开发能够引出学生先前想法的任务；并制定适合持续评估学生理解能力的策略。当达到这些目标时，这些目标将被用来开发一个新的基础设施，以促进大学水平入门课程中有意义的物理学习。

9317329 Goldberg This award will support the travel of Dr. Fred Goldberg from the Department of Physics at San Diego State University to conduct cooperative research, over a two year period, on student learning of physics with Dr. Richard Gunstone, Director of the Center for Science, Mathematics and Technology Education at Monash University in Melbourne. The project has three objectives that address needs established by the physics education community: to develop instruments and methodologies to explore students' beliefs about the structure and content of physics knowledge, and about teaching and learning; to develop tasks that would elicit students' prior ideas; and to develop strategies suitable for ongoing assessment of student understanding. When met, these objectives will be utilized to develop a new infrastructure for promoting meaningful learning of physics in college level introductory courses.
