With the reform of society as well as development of economy, life-long learning has become an important task for every citizen. So the task of education is not just teaching the knowledge to students, but also training them to be learners of strategies who know how to learn. The standard of the senior high school's physics curriculum puts the requirement of scientific inquiry and experiment ability in the first place, which focus on the student's self-learning and improving students'scientific literary through experiment and inquiry. The research on learning strategies of physics experiment will help to achieve the training object of the new curriculum standards, and enrich the theory of subject learning strategy as well.Learning strategy of physics experiment is the fusion of general strategies and subject strategies, and the system is constructed under the direction of education psychology theory and based on physics experiment ability, with the combination of The Physics Curriculum Standards and characters of physics experiment. Learning strategy of physics experiment is composed of experiment observation strategies, experiment operation strategies and experiment design strategies. Experiment observation strategy consists of observation meta-cognitive strategies, observation skills strategies, observation cognition strategies and observation resource management strategies; experiment operation strategies comprises operation meta-cognitive strategies, operation skills strategies, operation cognition strategies and operation resource management strategies; experiment design strategies are made up of design meta-cognition strategies, design cognition strategies and design resource management strategies.Based on the composition of experiment learning strategies and interviews with the front-line teachers, as well as under the guidance of my supervisor, I developed the questionnaire of learning strategy of physics experiment and the outline for interview and observation in class. Using the combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, we surveyed some students and teachers in Shijiazhuang No.1 middle school and No.24 middle school. The results show: students'experiment learning strategies develops unevenly, in which the mastery and usage of observation strategies and operation strategies are good and design strategies is not so well; there are significant differences between No.1 middle school and No.24 middle school in the experiment learning strategies, especially in operation strategies; Furthermore, the level of experiment learning strategies for male is higher than female, and there is significant difference in observation strategies and design strategies; from freshman to junior, the scores of experiment strategies declined, and there is significant difference in the operation strategies; the score of experimental classes is higher than regular classes in the observation strategies and the operation strategies. There are many reasons for those phenomena: the lack of relevant conception directly affects the learning and teaching for experiment learning strategies; the students'intellectual and non-intellectual factors play a key role in experiment learning strategies; and insufficient of effective guidance from teachers is also an important factor.Based on this situation, this paper puts forward classroom teaching principles of learning strategies of experiment: the integrity principle, the main principle, the adaptability principle and the effective evaluation principle, and on the basis of those principles, we carried classroom teaching case analysis and design.
