Collaborative Research: Video Resource for Professional Development of University Physics Educators

西雅图太平洋大学的研究人员正在创建大学物理教育工作者专业发展视频资源，该资源基于引人注目的最佳实践大学物理教学的课堂视频，并正在传播大学物理教育工作者的专业发展资源，包括四年制大学教师、两年制大学教师、研究生助教和本科生学习助理。这种资源的创建和传播是与对不同人群的需求分析同步进行的，因此，随着研究人员学习如何最好地为例如两年制大学教师提供服务，对资源的迭代改进将反映这种理解。为该项目制作的视频研讨会为物理教育工作者提供了有组织的机会，以检查真实大学课堂中的关键时刻。视频资源为用户提供了其他机构改造后的课程的视图，支持并扩大了本国机构对自身教学改进的愿景。该项目展示了各种示范教学形式，包括物理学入门教程、建模教学、同行教学和开放源码教程，扩展了之前一个旨在帮助本科生学习的项目的成功。授精是该项目的主要活动，主要通过美国物理学会、美国物理教师协会和物理教育研究用户指南在线进行。该项目促进了教学战略的实施，反映了已知的教与学方面的进步，改善了广大本科生的物理教育--包括在两年制大学，在那里，许多代表不足的少数族裔和妇女经历了他们的第一个物理和科学课程，并做出了关键的职业选择。

Researchers at Seattle Pacific University are creating a Video Resource for Professional Development of University Physics Educators that is based on compelling classroom video of best-practices university physics instruction and are disseminating the Resource for professional development of university physics educators, including four-year university faculty, two-year-college faculty, graduate teaching assistants, and undergraduate learning assistants. This resource creation and dissemination is occurring in tandem with needs analysis for the various populations, so that as the researchers learn how best to serve, for example, two-year-college faculty, iterative improvements to the resource will reflect that understanding.The video workshops produced for this project provide structured opportunities for physics educators to examine critical moments in real university classrooms. The Video Resource offers users a view of other institutions' transformed courses, supporting and expanding the home institution's vision of its own instructional improvement. The project showcases a variety of exemplary instructional formats including Tutorials in Introductory Physics, Modeling Instruction, Peer Instruction, and Open Source Tutorials, expanding on the success of a prior project aimed at undergraduate learning assistants.Dissemination is a major activity in this project and is taking place primarily through the American Physical Society, the American Association of Physics Teachers, and online at the Physics Education Research User's Guide. This project facilitates the implementation of instructional strategies that reflect advances in what is known about teaching and learning, improving physics education for a broad group of undergraduates - including at two-year colleges, where many underrepresented minorities and women experience their first physics and science courses and make critical career choices.
