Research On Developing Students' Ability Of Graphic Representation In Physics Teaching Of Senior One

According to the point of view of cognitive psychology,There are several ways to present one thing', such as text representation and graphical representation and symbolic representation and so on. The different ways of representations decide the ways of human beings brains' process. Compared with text representation and symbolic representation,graphical representation not only is intuitionistic but also provides multi-level abstract information of research objectives.The request of high school physics to the students' abstract thinking ability is high.However, it is graphical representation that just plays an important role in the field of understanding physical abstract knowledge. Graphical representation not only matches with the physical thinking characteristics but also presents physical knowledge. What characteristics physics presents will be easy because of graphical representation. This, as for physics, graphical representation, in many respects, reflects the superiority of text representation and symbolic representation.Graphical representation is a significant representation form of physical learning.which has both image thinking and abstract thinking features both conforms to the requirements of physical situation and accords with the cognitive characteristics of middle school students.The ability of students in this area is different,which can indirectly reflect the students' learning conditions of physics.Based on the above understanding, this study is about theory and the practice exploration on cultivating students' capability of graphical representation. Images of the graphical representation in this paper mainly focus on such three major categories as motioned graphics,functional images and knowledge structure diagram.Through reading and sorting existing research achievements,graphical representation ability's literature review is formed. This study choose students graphical representation ability as a research focus,supported by the theory of cognitive psychology, which explores the process of students' solving physical problems to speculate the thinking process in the problem solving process and psychological mechanism and to explain the relative phenomenon. Finally, on the basis of theoretical research, there are teaching practical explorations to train the ability of graphic representation and some teaching strategies put forward to train students' ability of graphic representation.
