The Research Of Cooperative Learning In Physics Instruction

With the advance of curriculum reform, it is valued more and more to transform traditional instruction way and develop students' ability of communication and cooperation. At the same time, the development of science and society to the cooperation, make 'Learning to get along with each other' become the basic quality which is essential for the person in 21st century. But nowadays, most schools in our country still follow the traditional instruction way of 'teacher lecturing and student listening', the importance of cooperation in instruction has not been concerned about, students lack of cooperative idea generally. All of these do not conform to the development of future world in which cooperation will prevail.The study of cooperative learning is still in primary stage now, for lacking of effective cooperative learning paradigm and strategy which fit in with the practical subject instruction, cooperative learning haven't gotten spread application. According to the auther's document examination to 1990?001, the research outcome on cooperative learning in physics instruction has not found yet. So, guiding cooperative learning into physics instruction is the urgent need of physics instruction reform at present. In this paper, the auther makes more systematic and deep-going research on cooperative learning in physics instruction from three parts.The first part: comprehensive statement. It is expounded that cooperative learning is the request of curriculum reform and the development of science and society, domestic and foreign scholar's research situation to cooperative learning, the question in cooperative learning study and the significance of this paper's study.The second part: theoretical research. The auther makes systematic expound from four aspects, they are the theoretical foundation of cooperation learning, the analysis of cooperative learning in physics instruction, the paradigm construction of cooperative learning in physics classroom teaching, and the implementation of cooperative learning.In this part, after expounding the theoretical foundation of cooperative learning,inthe interactive feature of cooperative learning in classroom teaching is analyzed by the author, then considering the characteristic of physics subject, the cooperative learning in physics classroom teaching is divided into two types, teacher梥tudent cooperative learning and student梥tudent cooperative learning. These will establish the foundation for the following study of paradigm.Constructing cooperative learning paradigm which fit in with the physics classroom instruction is the key issue of this paper's study. Any instruction paradigm's construction should follow certain principles. In this paper, according to six principles of science, application, students concern, common participation, equality and mutual-trust, development, two kinds of cooperative learning paradigm suited to physics classroom instruction are constructed.1. Guided cooperation paradigmThe operating process is: teacher guidance ? learning and talking ? collective communication ? teacher and student evaluation, the characteristic is that teacher directs cooperative learning, students apply cooperative learning under teacher's guidance.2. Autonomous cooperation paradigmThe operating process is: objective emergence ? common exploration ? communication and talking ? practice and application, the feature is that teacher takes part in small-group collaboration, and students will be in cooperative learning by themselves.Through concrete analysis for two kinds of cooperative learning paradigm, it is put forward that, in practical physics instruction, we should notice to the reasonable combination and application of cooperative learning paradigm. Generally, the application of guided cooperation paradigm should decrease gradually while the application of autonomous cooperation paradigm should increase gradually.For the implementation of cooperative learning in physics classroom teaching, it is expound in detail from five strat...
