With the rapid development of technology and science, knowledge-economy is in the ascendant. In the new century, talent is defined with new standards and meanings. Innovative spirits and practical capacity are getting more and more important in the knowledge-economic era. As a vocation which cultivates human beings, education faces greater and more austere challenge.Today, study-based learning is a world-wide subject in the educational field. In our country, with the deepening of new curriculum-reformation, study-based learning attracts more and more people's attention; not only can it alter the students' traditional study style but also bring up their innovative spirits and practical capacity. It gradually becomes the hotspot and brightness of the new basic-education reform in our country.Subject teaching is not only the main approach of quality education, but the practical base of kinds of educational theories. Since study-based learning is widely popularized, the infiltration between study-based learning and subject education has been always an important question to discuss. It is indeed a significant and creative research field to build a study-based learning model by which systematic knowledge can be efficiently taught, and the spirits of study-based learning could be embodied as well, which brings up the students' innovative spirits and practical capacity.Staying in our physics education, in the face of the challenge in the new century, traditional physics teaching has already exposed more and more drawbacks. So the Ministry of Education publicized the full-time compulsory educational physics curriculum standards (test) in 2001 and pointed out explicitly "during compulsory education , physics curriculum should not only emphasize imparting knowledge, training skill, and taking up new accomplishments of science that affects human civilization, but also stress cultivation of full-life study, capacity of inquiry and innovative spirits of the students." In other words, as we look on physics education and its development in view of knowledge-economic era, we find it no time to delayto use physics teaching to cultivate creative talents. Thus we must reform traditional physics education and have an exploring try.Considering the character of physics and the law of middle school education, I think it more effortless and more reasonable for physics teaching to embody the ideal of the study-based learning. Based on the predecessor's results, the thesis discusses how to infiltrate study-based learning into middle school physics education.The paper has four parts as follows.The first part analyzes the background and current situation of study-based learning on the basis of present reality.Section two introduces the definition, theoretical base and primary feature of study-based learning, especially the relation between study-based learning and inquiry learning, which are not the same things in my view.Section three researches the subject of study-based learning in middle school physics education in theoretical aspect mostly. This part analyses the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional physics teaching firstly and points out that we should take an attitude of "develop the useful and discard the useless" to combine the traditional teaching and the new educational ideal and discuss its urgency, feasibility and maneuverability. At the same time, the thesis proposes the relationship of inter-subjective association.In the last section, the author tentatively gives the practical strategy of physics study-based learning, i.e. two different models: question-discussing model in class and project-studying model after school. Lastly, the thesis discusses some misapplications and offers corresponding strategies to ensure the application of physics study-based learning.
