项目摘要

1. We have studied the present status of introductory physics education in Japanese universities in 1990 academic year by sending questionnaires to all universities with colleges of natural sciences, engineering, agriculture and medical sciences in Japan. There are altogether 280 "teaching division"s of introductory physics coursesin Japan, e.g., departments of physics in faculty of sciences, departments of physics in colleges of general education, etc. We have received replies from 210 "teaching division"s which are responsible to 110 thousand students majoring in natural sciences, engineering, agriculture and medical sciences. We have collected many statistical data, e.g., (1) Faculty to student ratio is 1/100, (2) Per-centage of students who have studied physics in senior high schools is -85% in engineering major, -30% in agriculture major and -50% in medical science major.2. In collaboration with ASPEN (Asian Physics Education Network) and Tokai University, we have published "Description of Introductory Physics Education in ASPEN Member Countries" on the occasion of ASPEN International Symposium on Introductory Physics Education in University", in which many members of our research group participated as speakers in plenary and parallel sessions and as organizers.3. We have edited syllabus of two types of Introductory physics courses, another for physical science majors, another for life science majors.4. We have developed a model plan of introductory physics laboratory.5. We have asked 5000 freshmen/women in 20 leading Japanese universities to write answers to 3 problems in order to find their knowledge on high school physics. we have found their knowledge on physical phenomena, basic laws and concepts is poor.

1。我们通过向所有具有自然科学，工程，农业和医学科学学院的大学发送问卷，研究了1990年学年日本大学入门物理教育的现状。总共有280个“教学部门”的入门物理学课程，例如，科学学院物理学部门，通识教育学院的物理学系等。至1.1万名自然科学，工程，农业和医学科学专业的学生。我们已经收集了许多统计数据，例如（1）教师比率为1/100，（2）在高中学习物理学的学生的每一centage在工程专业中为-85％，农业为-30％专业和-50％的医学专业2。与阿斯彭（Asian Physics Education Network）和Tokai大学合作，我们在Aspen International关于大学入门物理教育研讨会之际发表了“阿斯彭成员国入门物理教育的描述”，我们的许多研究成员在其中研究小组作为全体会议和平行会议的演讲者和组织者。实验室5。
