Workshop for new Physics Faculty

美国物理教师协会提议通过为100名主要来自研究型大学的新物理教师举办研讨会来改善本科教育。这次研讨会将讨论物理课程和教学的新发展，特别是那些由NSF赞助的项目所产生的发展。参与者将从美国各地研究型大学的物理系中挑选出来。突出的主题包括积极学习和互动讲座，解决概念误解，使用技术，少数群体和性别问题，发展和资助创新，物理学作为一门人文学科，指导研究型学生，培训下一代，以及大学前的外展活动。后续活动将包括电子网络和在AAPT年度会议上专门讨论新教员讲习班的会议。

The American Association of Physics Teachers proposes to improve undergraduate education by conducting workshops for 100 new physics faculty members primarily from the research universities. This workshop will cover new developments in physics curriculum and pedagogy, especially those that have resulted from NSF-sponsored projects. Participants will be selected from physics departments at research universities from throughout the U.S. Topics to be highlighted include active learning and interactive lectures, addressing conceptual misunderstandings, using technology, minority and gender issues, developing and funding innovation, physics as a liberal art, mentoring research students, training the next generation, and precollege outreach activities. Follow-up activities will include an electronic network and a session devoted to the new faculty workshop at the annual meeting of the AAPT.
