Physics (13)This two-phased project is guiding efforts to encourage the use of research-based teaching strategies in college-level physics instruction. The project is studying the instructional change process in general, identifying barriers to change, and identifying change affordances. The goal of the first phase is to observe the change process as it happens. A five-semester longitudinal study of fifteen faculty who have participated in the NSF-supported Physics and Astronomy New Faculty Workshop and who have indicated a willingness to engage in instructional change is being conducted. This study allows the examination of changes in instructional beliefs and practices as they happen in actual course settings over an extended period of time. Data include faculty interviews conducted at the beginning and end of each semester, surveys of the faculty conducted every three weeks throughout the semester, and teaching artifacts. For the study's second phase, all faculty who have participated in the New Faculty Workshop for the past five years are being surveyed. This second faculty cohort provides the study with a range of participants - from those who have just experienced the workshop to those who have had significant time to incorporate and reflect on their workshop experiences and to seek additional information about instructional innovations. The second study focuses on testing ideas generated as a result of the longitudinal study and on generating more generalized results because of the larger sample size.

物理 (13)这个分两阶段的项目正在指导鼓励在大学物理教学中使用基于研究的教学策略。该项目正在研究一般教学变革过程，确定变革的障碍，并确定变革的可供性。 第一阶段的目标是观察变化过程的发生。 一项为期五个学期的纵向研究正在对 15 名参加过 NSF 支持的物理和天文学新教师研讨会并表示愿意参与教学改革的教师进行。 这项研究可以检查教学信念和实践在较长时间内在实际课程设置中发生的变化。 数据包括每学期开始和结束时进行的教师访谈、整个学期每三周进行的教师调查以及教学成果。 在该研究的第二阶段，所有过去五年参加过新教师研讨会的教师都将接受调查。 第二批教师为研究提供了一系列参与者——从刚刚参加过研讨会的人到那些花了大量时间来整合和反思他们的研讨会经验并寻求有关教学创新的更多信息的人。 第二项研究侧重于测试纵向研究产生的想法，并由于样本量较大而产生更普遍的结果。
