该研究聚焦美国一所R1物理博士项目，通过对14名学生的半结构化访谈及对其中5次的主题分析，探讨学生对研究生物理课程传统教学法的看法，揭示传统被动讲授法的普遍性及学生对研究相关内容的重视。
AI 中文摘要
STEM学科的研究生项目对培养未来的研究人员和教授至关重要。学生的项目要求通常包括修读几门研究生水平的课程。有轶事证据表明，物理专业的研究生课程尤其存在过时且无效的教学方法，高度强调数学严谨性而忽视概念学习或与实际研究的联系。先前的物理教育研究表明，学生可能带着对所学主题概念理解的不足离开研究生课程。本试点研究旨在记录美国一所R1级物理博士项目中，学生对其研究生课程的看法。对该项目的学生进行了14次半结构化访谈，并对其中5次访谈进行了主题分析。讨论了由此产生的主题，包括传统被动讲授教学法的普遍性以及学生对与研究相关课程内容的高度重视。
英文摘要
Graduate programs in STEM disciplines are central to preparing future researchers and professors. Program requirements for students often include taking several graduate-level courses. Anecdotal evidence suggests that graduate coursework in physics in particular features outdated and ineffective pedagogical methods, with high emphasis on mathematical rigor in place of conceptual learning or connections made with authentic research. Prior physics education research indicates that students can leave graduate courses with shortcomings in conceptual understanding of covered topics. This pilot study is designed to document student perspectives on their graduate coursework in a single U.S. R1 physics Ph.D. program. A total of 14 semi-structured interviews were conducted with students enrolled in the program, and thematic analysis was conducted on five of these interviews for this paper. The resulting themes are discussed, including the prevalence of traditional passive lecture pedagogy and students placing high value on course content relevant to research.
