HyperPhysicsAn exploration environment for physics. 一个用于物理探索的环境。 Rod Nave, Ph. D., Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA Email: rodnave@gsu.edu ![]() Rod Nave,博士,佐治亚州立大学,佐治亚州亚特兰大 Email: rodnave@gsu.edu |
Motivation动机
The HyperPhysics Project was initiated as a continuing on-line resource for physics teachers and other science teachers. It arose from an intensive Conceptual Physics summer course for science teachers. The process of teaching prospective teachers of high school physics and other sciences made it clear that this one course could not come close to providing the resources they would need in the classroom. The dream was to provide an easily-navigated exploration environment to help busy teachers find the detailed information they might need about physics topics. HyperPhysics 项目最初是为物理教师和其他科学教师建立的一个持续在线资源。它源于为科学教师开设的 intensive Conceptual Physics 夏令营课程。在教授高中物理和其他学科的潜在教师的过程中,人们意识到单门课程无法满足教师在课堂上所需的各种资源。因此,梦想是提供一个易于导航的探索环境,帮助忙碌的教师找到他们可能需要的关于物理主题的详细信息。
Approach方法
Active concept maps were chosen as a strategy for exploration, with hyperlinks between subjects to create a sort of neural-net for rapid navigation. ![]() 主动概念图被选为探索策略,通过主题间的超链接创建一种类似神经网络的结构,以实现快速导航。在适当的情况下,广泛使用主动示意图进行导航,‘深入探索’策略被用来允许用户继续深入获取更详细的信息,通常最终会实现一个用JavaScript编写的计算。

Scope范围
While maintaining a commitment to being friendly to the beginning learner, the project has grown in scope to include almost all the content of the introductory university physics sequence, whether algebra or calculus-based. The modern physics portion extends to the upper undergraduate level. Application areas such as acoustics and optics range to a broader scope than traditional physics texts. The nature of a web resource allows it to be multi-level in its coverage, starting at a conceptual level and providing links to more and more detailed levels. 尽管致力于对初学者友好,该项目的范围已扩展,涵盖了几乎所有大学入门物理课程的内容,无论是代数还是微积分基于的课程。现代物理部分扩展到了高级本科生水平。应用领域如声学和光学的范围比传统物理教材更广。作为一种网络资源,其覆盖内容可以多层级,从概念层面开始,并提供越来越详细层次的链接。
Learning Activities学习活动
Active class calendars have been created for the detailed use of the HyperPhysics resource in a number of courses. These involve guides for courses with an extensive set of links to the core of the HyperPhysics site. 已为HyperPhysics资源在多门课程中的详细使用创建了主动课程日历。这些日历包含指向HyperPhysics网站核心的大量链接的指南。
Tips for Teaching教学建议
To promote an inquiry approach to learning, particularly in courses for future science teachers, a guided exploration strategy has been used extensively. Rather than lecture to introduce a new area, a set of key questions with links to the HyperPhysics material have been assigned to class members in groups. Exploring and then presenting the key concepts gives the students more ownership of the learning process. 为促进以探究为基础的学习方式,特别是在为未来科学教师设计的课程中,广泛采用了引导探索策略。而不是通过讲座来介绍新领域,学生被分组完成一组与HyperPhysics材料相关的关键问题。通过探索并最终呈现关键概念,学生能更主动地参与学习过程。

Impact on Teaching and Learning对教学与学习的影响
Envisioned as a teacher resource, the use of HyperPhysics has impacted a much wider audience with over 50 million file accesses per year and CD versions of HyperPhysics sent to 59 countries to date. Translation into German and Italian is underway. 作为教学资源,HyperPhysics的使用已影响了更广泛的受众,每年有超过5000万次文件访问,截至目前,HyperPhysics的光盘版已发送到59个国家。德语和意大利语的翻译工作正在进行中。
