The Research Of Teaching Methods On University Physics

Higher education shoulders the responsibility of cultivating high-quality talents, It is the important driving force of the progress of our society and country. Therefore, how to achieve the goal of higher education better and how to improve the quality of higher education have always been the focus of concern to education workers.Through the elaboration of the status and role of physics course in higher education, this paper found that the role of University Physics to cultivate student’s ability and quality cannot be replaced. Thus the research of teaching methods on University Physics has important significance.Firstly, we elaborated the characteristics, types and the practicing requirements of university’s teaching method. Then after consulting a large number of literatures, we introduced the domestic and overseas teaching methods on University Physics at the present stage. Through the analysis, we found that there are many outstanding teaching methods on University Physics such as Studio Physics, Inquiry Teaching, and Research Teaching. But these methods possessed high requirements to the quality of teachers and students, the teaching resources and the teaching environment. So they cannot be practiced well in some domestic universities’physics classes especially in some territorial colleges.The key point of this paper is to come up with four methods which we think can be practiced well in most of our physics classes at the present stage. We put forward these methods by using the outstanding teaching methods on physics of other countries for reference, and combined with effective teaching theory and our higher education practice. That is, Heuristic Teaching, Problem-Based-Learning which are based on specific content and Pedagogy of Variation. Similarity Teaching which are based on large-sized class. Through the analysis, we found these four methods can be practiced well in most of our physics classes. And they can offer some help to improve the teaching quality.Of course, the research of teaching methods on University Physics needs a long-term procedure.Our teaching methods have their own limitations.But we believe that teaching methods on University Physics can gradually improved with more attention and exploration.
