Abstract

The authors describe the development of a self-contained computer environment to assist in the teaching and learning process involved in the art and science of experimentation. Six main components comprise this environment: an intuitive interface to data acquisition units, computer-based control of the experiment, an information base for the underlying theory describing the phenomena being investigated, experimental procedures for the experiment, experimental hardware descriptions, and tools to facilitate report writing and construction. All six components are equally important and should be provided to form a coherent teaching and learning environment. A heat exchanger experiment was constructed to provide the specific test stand to illustrate the use of the environment. It is noted, however, that this environment could be used in almost any experimental situation. Two different educational experiences with the experimental environment are described. In both experiences, the students were provided with an excellent illustration of how a computer can be used for control of the experiment, data collection, data reduction, and analysis of the data to illustrate the underlying phenomena being investigated.<>

计算机在实验教学中的辅助作用:以热科学为例

作者描述了一个独立的计算机环境的发展，以协助教学和学习过程中涉及的艺术和科学的实验。该环境由六个主要组成部分组成:数据采集单元的直观界面、基于计算机的实验控制、描述所研究现象的基础理论的信息库、实验的实验程序、实验硬件描述以及促进报告写作和构建的工具。这六个组成部分同样重要，应该提供，以形成一个连贯的教学环境。建立了换热器实验，为说明该环境的使用提供了具体的试验台。然而，值得注意的是，这种环境几乎可以用于任何实验情况。在实验环境中描述了两种不同的教育经历。在这两种体验中，学生们都获得了计算机如何用于实验控制、数据收集、数据简化和数据分析以说明正在研究的潜在现象的绝佳例证。
