Introducing Integrative Methods into a Modern Physics with Health Applications' Course

物理(13)基于Lawes和Luetzelschwab在研讨会物理中以前的工作，以及太平洋大学以前开发低级和高级参与式物理课程的工作，该项目正在开发一个中级物理教学计划。这门课程，现代物理学与健康应用，将教学的重点从基于讲座和实验室的结构转移到基于项目的方法。这门课程围绕四个扩展的小组主动学习项目--核医学、放射疗法、磁共振成像和中子激活分析--设计。该课程扩大了课程中基于探究的课程的范围，并为计划进入卫生学校和其他健康相关领域的学生提供了高度相关的物理课程。通过在每一级教学中创造一个鼓励探究、体验和积极学习物理的课堂环境，这门课程也可能对其他地方教授科学的方式产生重大影响。

Physics (13) Building on previous work by Laws and Luetzelschwab in Workshop Physics, and on previous work at Pacific University to develop lower level and advanced level participatory physics courses, this project is developing an intermediate program of physics teaching. The course, Modern Physics with Health Applications, moves the focus of teaching from a lecture-based and laboratory structure to a project-based approach. The course is being designed around four extended small group active-learning projects - Nuclear Medicine; Radiation Therapy; Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Neutron Activation Analysis.The course extends the scope of inquiry-based courses in the curriculum and offers a highly relevant physics program for students planning to go into health schools and other health-related fields. By creating a classroom environment at each level of teaching that encourages inquiry, experience, and active learning about physics, the course may also have a substantial influence on how science is taught elsewhere.
