Implementing the Workshop Model and other Research-based Instructional Strategies in Physics & Mathematics Courses

该项目在物理和数学课程中采用并实施其他地方开发的技术、研究型教学策略和课程。这些课程是在一个物理学习环境中进行的，该环境改编自讲习班物理模型(LAWS)，将实验室和讲座结合在一起，并使用计算机数据收集和分析工具。创新的研究型技术，如学习周期(Karplus)、通过ClassTalk的同伴教学(Mazur)和苏格拉底对话诱导程序(HAKE)，在这次讲习班的几个入门物理课程中得到采用和实施。将基于研究的材料，如交互物理、物理、视频点、视觉量子力学整合到入门课程中，进行必要的实施，以调整目标物理课程中本科生的教学单元。微积分、微积分、微分方程和数学建模预科课程改编自田纳西大学的多媒体数学(Dunbar)和基于网络的数学档案。CBLS和TI计算器与Maple、图形分析和交互微分方程式一起使用。测量学生的概念理解、态度和期望以及整合数学及其应用的能力的工具构成了评估的基础。项目成果通过发表在经过评审的期刊上的论文和物理教育工作者出席的会议上的发言来传播，作为其他机构改革和振兴的模板。

This project adapts and implements technology, research-based instructional strategies, and curriculum developed elsewhere, in physics and mathematics courses. These courses are conducted in a physical learning environment adapted from the Workshop Physics model (Laws) integrating laboratory and lecture, and using computer-based data collection and analysis tools. Innovative research-based techniques such as the Learning Cycle (Karplus), Peer Instruction (Mazur) via ClassTalk and Socratic Dialog Inducing Procedures (Hake) are adapted and implemented in this workshop setting for several introductory physics courses. Research based materials such as Interactive Physics, Physlets, VideoPoint, Visual Quantum Mechanics are integrated into the introductory courses making the necessary implementations to adjust the instructional units for undergraduate students in the target physics courses. The Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Differential Equations, and Mathematical Modeling courses adapts Multimedia Mathematics (Dunbar) and web-based Math Archives from the University of Tennessee. CBLs and TI calculators are used in conjunction with Maple, Graphical Analysis and Interactive Differential Equations. Instruments measuring students' conceptual understanding, attitudes, and expectations as well as ability to integrate mathematics its applications form the basis of the evaluation. Project results are disseminated through papers in refereed journals and presentations at conferences attended by physics educators, to serve as a template for reform and revitalization in other institutions.
