基金支持下基于物理教育研究开发物理课程的案例分析

EXAMPLE OF RESEARCH-BASED PHYSICS CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT WITH FUNDING SUPPORT

本文详细解析美国华盛顿大学物理教育研究小组以研究学生物理学习中遇到的困难为基础改进物理教学的过程和方法,并以此说明(1)物理教学改革需要以物理教育研究为基础;(2)课程建设是一项艰巨的工作;(3)物理教育改革和研究需要科学研究基金有力和持续的支持。

This paper details the methodological processes systematized by the physics education research group at University of Washington to improve phyiscs teaching.The approach starts with identifying and confronting student difficulties in learning physics concepts.It is evidential that instructional reforms need to be anchored in physics education research,and that the challenge-riddent tasks of physics curriculum development must be leveraged by long-term sustainable research funding mechanisms.
