Research On The Application Of Virtual Simulation Software In Middle School Physics Teaching

Current era is the rapidly developing era of big data information.The rapid growth of computer network information technology keeps changing people's life.Under such background and such social trend,cultivating the talents who still canbecome the mainstay of current era certainly requires the education tokeep up with the times.Therefore,it is extremely necessary to equip the teachers with advanced teaching method.Wu Yan,director of the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education,proposed five “GoldCourses” in one of his reports,andvirtual simulation course is one of“GoldCourses”.Virtual simulation course,as a new teaching productivity,is conductive to combineeducation with computer intelligence,thus virtual simulation has become a hot topic in the study of teaching.In this paper,the application of virtual simulation software in middle-school-physics teaching isexplored byapplying Algodoo virtual simulation software tomiddle-school-mechanics teaching andmiddle-school-optics teaching.Firstly,on the basis of literature review,the reasons of the topic selection,the research purposes,the research significance,the research methods and the related research situations at home and abroad are expounded.Secondly,considering the uniqueness of physics subject,physics curriculum standards and the characteristics of students' physical and mental development,the functionof virtual simulation softwarein teaching is discussedunder the guidance of constructivism theory and Dell's experience tower theory.Thirdly,threeissues selected from middleschoolmechanics andmiddleschooloptics are studiedwith case study method.With the help of Algodoo,the related physicslawsareverified,and the exploration process of physics laws is demonstrated and summarized.Finally,the advantages and disadvantages of virtual simulation software in teaching aresummarized to order to showhow to reasonably use virtual simulation software in teaching.Thus,this paper may provide valuable hints for teachers whowant to use virtual simulation software to assist their teaching in the future.
