PhD Program in Physics Education

美国俄亥俄州立大学物理系正在向美国国家科学基金会提交一份研究生研究培训计划的提案。我们的建议是每年资助五名研究生研究实习生，为期五年。这些学生将攻读物理学博士学位，专攻物理教育研究。他们的培训将侧重于物理教学的理论和方法，以及利用技术来加强学习。这些努力将涉及与几家私营公司的合作。我们建议的五个具体目标如下。A)培养具有研究和教学技能以及认知和学习知识的物理学博士毕业生，这些知识将为他们未来改善美国科学教育的努力做好准备。B)培养获得知识和发展技能的物理学博士毕业生，以建立和实施部分基于技术使用的有效学习系统。C)从传统上代表性不足的群体中增加具有这些知识和技能的有才华的物理学博士毕业生的数量。D)增加在所有物理领域都受过训练的具有物理教育研究知识的物理学博士毕业生的数量，以便在他们将来可能工作的教育系统中实施新的教学形式。E)帮助在一所拥有5万多名学生的州立大学的学习系统中产生积极的系统变化——这种变化使这些本科生更好地为21世纪信息时代的工作场所做好准备。我们建议每年资助五名俄勒冈州立大学物理学研究生研究培训名额，为期五年。美国国家科学基金会每年为这些培训生支付的费用为112,500美元。俄亥俄州立大学每年的27,000美元匹配捐款将通过支付NSF支持的受训人员每年超过8400美元的学费和每年100美元的杂项支持和受训人员的旅费来实现。

GER-9553460 Stith The Ohio State University Physics Department is submitting a proposal to the National Science Foundation under the NSF Graduate Research Traineeship Program. Our proposal is that five Graduate Research Trainees be funded each year for five years. These students will work to earn PhD's in physics with specialties in physics education research. Their training will focus on the theory and methods of teaching and learning in physics and on the use of technology to enhance that learning. These efforts will involve collaborations with several private companies. The five specific objectives of our proposal are as follows. A) To produce PhD physics graduates who develop the research and teaching skills and the knowledge about cognition and learning that will prepare them to lead future efforts to improve science education in the United States. B) To produce PhD physics graduates who gain the knowledge and develop the skills to produce and implement effective systems of learning based in part on the use of technology. C) To increase the number of talented PhD physics graduates from traditionally underrepresented groups who have this knowledge and these skills. D) To increase the number of PhD physics graduates trained in all areas of physics who also have the knowledge of physics education research to implement new forms of instruction in the education systems in which they may work in the future. E) To help produce a positive systemic change in the learning system of a state university with over 50,000 students --a change that better prepares these undergraduate students for the twenty-first century information- age workplace. We propose that the five Graduate Research Traineeships be funded in physics at OSU each year for five years. The cost to the NSF for these Traineeships will be $112,500 per year. Ohio State University's matching contribution of $27,000 per year will be realized by paying the tuition of the NSF support ed trainees in excess of $8400 per year and in $100 per year of miscellaneous support and travel for the trainees.
