| In the new century, higher education has a hyper-growth and enhancing the quality of higher education has become an important way of education reform. Enquiry-based leaning as a new teaching mode has become an active research area in education reform because of its special effects to develop students' practice ability and sense of innovation.Based on the study of related reference works, the following researches were described in this paper: exploring the relevant theory of "open-ended problem teaching"; giving the definition of "open-ended problem"; proposing the principles, strategies and influence of designing open-ended problems. Based on this, we initially built college physics "open-ended problem" pool, analyzed the present reach situation, and pointed out the shortage; designed and practiced the "open-ended problem solving" in the School of Intensive Instruction in Nanjing Normal University on inquiry learning course: college physics, and obtained positive results and some guiding strategies. |
