ComPADRE: Communities for Physics and Astronomy Digital Resources in Education

美国物理教师协会(AAPT)、美国物理学会(APS)、美国物理学会/物理学生学会(AIP/SPS)和美国天文学会(AAS)正在创建一套相互关联的教育材料数字集合，并为从小学到研究生院的学生和教师提供特定的学习环境。最初的收藏包括天文学入门、量子物理、大学物理预科教师、物理和天文学本科专业或未来专业的资源，以及非正式的科学教育。选择这些主题是因为它们的影响力、多样性、受众的广度、可发现的材料的范围以及社会中群体的兴趣。为了开发和维护这些集合，该项目利用了协会成员作为编辑、内容专家、审查员和专业技术人员的专业知识。物理学家和天文学家通过选择和组织、注释、审查和反馈使用现有的学习材料来增加价值。该项目通过技术、出版物和图书管理员服务为这些藏书提供支持。动态的、数据库驱动的Web服务解决方案提供基于模板的集合交付，以实现灵活性、站点的快速开发和用户支持的维护。不同的主题集合使用一个统一的接口，并在适当的地方链接它们的资源。ComPADRE的服务包括资源的发现和收集，以及帮助作者和集合进行符合标准的元标记。该项目正在与现有的资源收藏密切合作--例如，在线期刊、天文数据库、大学课程、学生网站和公共科学信息网站，以及其他数字图书馆项目，以共享收藏和工具。由此产生的一套高质量的收藏将对专业组织的成员、更广泛的科学、技术、工程和数学教育工作者和学生以及广大公众产生影响。

The American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), the American Physical Society (APS), the American Institute of Physics/Society of Physics Students (AIP/SPS), and the American Astronomical Society (AAS) are creating an interconnected set of digital collections of educational materials and providing specific learning environments accessible to learners and teachers from elementary school through graduate school. The initial collections include resources for introductory astronomy, quantum physics, pre-college physical science teachers, undergraduate majors or prospective majors in physics and astronomy, and informal science education. These topics were chosen for their impact, diversity, breadth of audience, extent of discoverable materials, and interest of groups within the societies.To develop and maintain the collections, the project is utilizing the expertise of the societies' members as editors, content experts, reviewers, and professional technical staff. Physicists and astronomers add value to existing learning materials through selection and organization, annotation, review, and feedback on their use. The project supports these collections through technical, publication, and librarian services. A dynamic, database-driven Web services solution provides template-based delivery of the collections for flexibility, rapid development of sites, and user-enabled maintenance. The different topical collections employ a unified interface and link their resources wherever appropriate.ComPADRE's services include the discovery and collection of resources, and helping authors and collections with standards-compliant meta-tagging. The project is working closely with existing resource collections--e.g., online journals, astronomical databases, university courseware, student sites, and public science information sites, as well as other digital library projects to share collections and tools. The resulting set of high-quality collections will have an impact on members of the professional organizations, the broader community of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics educators and students, and the public at large.
