The document introduces Derek Chirnside, a physics professor from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, who is giving a talk on interactive teaching strategies in physics. It provides an overview of his background in teaching mathematics, science, and physics. It discusses his realization that a more interactive approach was needed and his discovery of physics education research. The talk aims to share research-based interactive teaching strategies that have helped students in many classes, while acknowledging the need to adapt them to the local context in China.

1. Introduction 介绍 Derek Chirnside, University of Canterbury 德理克 秦赛德 , 新西兰坎特伯雷大学 Interactive Teaching Strategies Mainly in Physics at Chuxiong Normal University, China December 2007

2. My Background: teaching 自我介绍：教学经历 1977: mathematics and science 1979: physics

3. I particularly enjoyed 特别喜欢 Practical work 实际动手

4. Tried to make clear strong links between theory and practical 力图弄清楚理论与实践间的一些重要联系

5. 1985: science teaching workshops 1985 年自然科学教学研讨会

6. 1991: Head of Department Physics 1991 年担任物理系系主任 Became very unhappy with my approach to teaching. 开始对自己的教学方法感到不满意

7. Question: Learning Physics concepts: What problems do you face with your classes? What problems do students face in China?

10. 1995: Science Education Study 1995 年自然科学教育研究 Discovered the world of Physics Education Research . 探索物理教育研究领域 The question for me: were the results true in our country?

11. The McDermott Wheel . . . 研究 课程发展研究 学习模式

12. I learned about Vygotsky 我所了解的 Vygotsky Constructivism 建构主义 Telling is not a good form of teaching.

14. I will be sharing with you some strategies that aspire to be RESEARCH BASED. 将要与大家交流的是立志于科研的一些策略 These have been helpful to many people in many classes.

15. But, you must implement with care. 但是希望大家慎重使用 This is China. In fact, this is Yunan and this is Chuxiong Normal University.

16. You must decide for yourself what you take away and implement. 自己判断获取什么以及该如何用 You have your own special context. 你们的情况不同

17. I hope you take away some useful ideas to reflect on, to help you in your teaching – and help your students for the good of Physics Education 希望大家获得一些可供思考的想法，可供教学实践借鉴的观念，以及为搞好物理教育如何为学生提供帮助的方法
