物理科学:好莱坞的化身在物理课堂上振兴传统课程

Physical Science: A revitalization of the traditional course by avatars of Hollywood in the physics classroom

C. J. Efthimiou, R. Llewellyn

摘要:

多年来进行的全国性研究表明,虽然大多数美国人对科学感兴趣,并支持联邦政府资助科学研究,但公众的科学素养却很低。为什么会出现这种情况,谁来负责,这不是一个容易回答的问题。本文介绍了一个项目,旨在解决这个问题,至少在大学生中,通过重新设计的通识教育物理科学课程,在大多数高校,通过电影中发现的物理,特别是在今天的学生中流行的动作片教基本的物理原理。“电影中的物理学”方法第一年的试验结果不仅仅是有希望的,它们可能为解决问题指明了方向。

英文摘要:

National studies conducted over many years show that, while most Americans are interested in science and support federal funding of scientific research, the scientific literacy of the public is very low. Why this situation exists and who is responsible are not easy questions to answer. This paper describes a project aimed at addressing that problem, at least among college students, by re-designing the general education physical science course, common in most colleges and universities, to teach basic physics principles via the physics found in films, particularly the action films popular among today's students. Results of the first year's trial of the `Physics in Films' approach are more than promising, they may be pointing the way to the solution of the problem.
