Computer Assisted Learning in Physics Education focuses on the use of computers in learning physics. Organized into six chapters, the book begins with an explanation of the CONDUIT series in physics. Subsequent chapters focus on physics education with or without computers; a computer-based course in classical mechanics; physics in the Irvine Educational Technology Center; and an electronics course using an intelligent video format. The last chapter addresses computation as a physical and intellectual environment for learning physics. The book will be useful for physics students as an aid in the use of computers in this field.

Computer-based approaches to physics instruction have been explored at a number of research and development centers throughout the world. The presentation briefly reviews some university efforts in this area, mainly the development of an autonomous multi-media computer assisted instruction (CAI) general-education physics course. Based on a one-term conventional lecture course which has been given successfully at ESU for several years, the CAI course made use of an IBM 1500 instructional system to guide the student through a self-paced program of text book reading assignments, audiotaped lectures, PSSC movies, and cartridged films of demonstration experiments. The student had to pass a diagnostic quiz administered by the computer on the reading assignment before beginning each lesson. At the end of each unit, he was questioned by the computer on the main points of the lesson before proceeding to the next unit. (Author).

Computers are revolutionizing activities in all areas of life. Physics researchers, accustomed to being at the forefront of technology, have been deeply affected by the computer revolution. This effect has serious implications for what is taught and how it is taught in the physics classroom. This conference was organized to allow physics teachers and software developers in physics education to come together and see the state of the art in using computers to teach physics. The conference included 39 invited lectures and 122 contributed presentations. It introduced a number of innovations in the hope of increasing interactions and stimulating future contacts. This document contains the text of the invited and contributed papers organized as follows: (1) "The Computer's Impact on the Physics Curriculum"; (2) "Physics Computer Simulations"; (3) "Computers in the Physics Laboratory"; (4) "Physics Education Research and Computers"; (5) "Computational Physics and Spreadsheets"; (6) "Computer Tutorials in Physics"; (7) "Physics Lecture Demonstrations Using Computers"; (8) "Authoring Tools and Programming Languages"; (9) "Computer Utilities for Teaching Physics"; (10) "Computer Networking Workshops"; (11) "Publishing Physics Software"; and (12) "Videodiscs and Visualization for Physics." Appended are author and general indexes, a list of the contents of distributed software, and a software order form. (CW)
