An Inquiry-Based Summer Physics Course For In-Service Teachers

小行星9731367 该项目由圣马科斯的加州州立大学赞助，将开展一个为期三年的项目，向高中物理教师传授学习基本物理概念的探究方法。该项目的基础将是使用华盛顿大学的探究式物理方法，辅以实时物理和CPU（构建物理理解）程序。每年夏天，36名教师将参加为期三周的课程。在学年期间，项目工作人员将通过电子通信和每两周一次的研讨会帮助实施该计划。特别挑选的，经验丰富的大师级教师将指导参与者，并在该计划的交付援助。此外，还将挑选职前教师帮助实施该项目，以便他们在进入教师职业时具备使用探究方法进行教学的背景。一个完整的评估计划将评估教师的知识，教师如何教物理和学生成绩的变化。

9731367 Oberem This project, sponsored by the California State University at San Marcos, will carry out a three-year project to teach teachers of high school physics an inquiry approach to learning of basic physics concepts. The basis of the project will be to use the University of Washington's Physic by Inquiry approach supplemented by Real-time Physics and the CPU (Constructing Physics Understanding) program. Each summer 36 teachers will be enrolled in a three-week program. During the academic year project staff will aid in the implementation of the program by electronic communication and by biweekly seminars. Specially selected, experienced master teachers will mentor the participants and aid in the delivery of the program. In addition pre-service teachers will be selected to help with the project so that they will enter the teaching profession with background in teaching using the inquiry approach. A full evaluation program will assess teacher knowledge, the change in how the teacher teaches physics and student achievement.
