Magnetism Tools for Learning and Assessment

这个项目的目标是为磁学的主题和概念制作一个相互关联的易于使用和现成的材料集合，可以用作课堂材料、网络作业或家庭作业。此外，正在开发同一领域的前/后评价工具。这些材料采用TIPERs（由物理教育研究启发的任务），设计得很容易，部分（或全部）融入现有的课程和教学风格。它们基于物理教育研究的努力和最新发展，并专注于开发磁性材料。这个材料开发项目设想在几年的时间里，以各种新形式在目标领域收集相关材料，这些材料正在课堂上进行测试，并导致一个大型的、全面的材料开发项目。第一阶段的目标是带电物体的面积、静电场和电势。在第二阶段之后，预计将有几个其他阶段侧重于热力学、波、光学和现代物理学。这个项目是两年制学院和大学物理学教授之间的合作，他们过去曾一起工作过。这些材料正在几个不同的机构进行课堂测试，并提供印刷版和电子版。本项目促进了物理教育研究成果在课堂上的整合和应用，从而提高了大专院校学生的物理学习水平。

Physics (13) The objective of this project is to produce an interrelated collection of easy-to-use and ready-to-go materials for the topics and concepts in magnetism that can be used as classroom materials, web assignments, or homework assignments. In addition, tools for pre/post assessment in the same area are being developed. These materials are employing TIPERs (Tasks Inspired by Physics Education Research) and are designed to be easy to incorporate, in part (or in whole), into existing courses and teaching styles. They are based on the efforts and recent developments in physics education research and are focused on developing materials in magnetism. This material development project envisions the incremental development over a period of years of a collection of related materials in a variety of new formats in targeted areas that are being classroom-tested and are leading to a large, full scale materials development project. The first stage targeted the area of electrically charged objects, static electric fields, and electric potential. This second stage is expected to be followed by several other stages focusing on thermodynamics, waves, optics, and modem physics. This project is a collaboration between two-year college and university physics professors who have worked together in the past. These materials are being classroom tested at several different institutions and are being made available in both print and electronic versions. This project facilitates the incorporation and application of the results of physics education research into classrooms and thus improve the learning of physics by students at post-secondary education institutions.
