不改变课程的简化计算模式--以中等经典力学为例

A Model for Incorporating Computation Without Changing the Course: An example from middle-division classical mechanics

Marcos D. Caballero, Steven J. Pollock

摘要:

如果不使用计算,现代物理学家所做的大部分研究都是不可能的。然而,虽然计算是实践物理学家的重要工具,但物理课程通常没有反映出它的重要性和实用性。为了更紧密地将本科准备与专业实践联系起来,我们将计算教学整合到科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的中级经典力学中。我们的集成模型的教师谁不专门从事计算教学标准物理课程的约束内的工程,把一个强有力的强调{适应性强的课程}。我们的模型包括计算学习目标的构建,与这些目标相一致的计算活动的设计,以及对学生计算流畅性的评估。我们目前的批评,我们的模式,我们的工作,以开发一个有效的和可持续的模式,计算教学的本科课程

英文摘要:

Much of the research done by modern physicists would be impossible without the use of computation. And yet, while computation is a crucial tool of practicing physicists, physics curricula do not generally reflect its importance and utility. To more tightly connect undergraduate preparation with professional practice, we integrated computational instruction into middle-division classical mechanics at the University of Colorado Boulder. Our model for integration works within the constraints of faculty who do not specialize in computation teaching standard physics courses by placing a strong emphasis on {an adaptable curriculum}. Our model includes the construction of computational learning goals, the design of computational activities consistent with those goals, and the assessment of students' computational fluency. We present critiques of our model as we work to develop an effective and sustainable model for computational instruction in the undergraduate curriculum
