A tentative version of Japanese translation of "Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation" was used in a preliminary research to investigate high school students' conceptual understanding of Newtonian dynamics after the students attended formal courses on the topic in 2006 -07. The results obtained were generally similar to those of post-tests after traditional lectures in universities in U.S.A.. It was also used as pre-and post-test at two extramural classes on dynamics based on the active learning materials. The results of those uses suggested a well validated version of the translated test and more systematic large scale research can contribute well to physics education research in Japan.

“…Our teaching methodology is guided by the following principles for online and in-class teaching [14][15][16]:  Instruction should be interactive -we limit noninteractive declarative knowledge acquisition to ~ 500 words (< 5 minutes of reading time).  Instruction should include social interactions -LON-CAPA discussion boards will be used to discuss problems and specially posed questions.…”

Abstract. We are building in LON-CAPA an integrated learning environment that will enable the development, dissemination and evaluation of PER-based material. This environment features a collection of multi-level researchbased homework sets organized by topic and cognitive complexity. These sets are associated with learning modules that contain very short exposition of the content supplemented by integrated open-access videos, worked examples, simulations, and tutorials (some from ANDES). To assess students' performance accurately with respect to a systemwide standard, we plan to implement Item Response Theory. Together with other PER assessments and purposeful solicitation of student feedback, this will allow us to measure and improve the efficacy of various research-based materials, while getting insights into teaching and learning.

“…Because PER is somewhat ill-defined, for the purposes of this paper we will define it as the curriculum, teaching methodologies, and research findings promoted in Redish's recent book, "Teaching Physics With the Physics Suite" [1]. This book was intended to be a general overview of the field and represents mainstream and generally accepted ideas from the community.…”
