Relevant research shows that physics problem solving ability has been highly valued abroad.However,due to the test-oriented education in China,teachers,students and parents are blindly pursuing test scores,resulting in relatively low physics problem solving ability among students.With the development of the times and the change of talents’ competence,the traditional educational concept is no longer suitable for the development of China’s education and economy at this stage。 In this regard,curriculum reform is imperative.In the curriculum standards issued in 2017,the “scientific inquiry” under the physical core literacy puts forward clear requirements for physics problem.There are a number of researchers who have studied core literacy and physics problem solving ability,while limited researchers laid their focus on physics problem solving ability under the physical core literacy,which is the significance of this paper.This paper is divided into six parts:The first and the second part are mainly to summarize and sort out the content of the training of senior one students’ physics problem solving ability based on the physical core literacy through the literature research method,to draw the current research state of the subject,to establish the research significance and research purposes of this paper,to elaborate on the evolution process and content of literacy,core literacy and physical core literacy,to define and classify the concepts including problem,physics problems,problem solving and physics problem solving,to explain the theory base of this paper,meta-cognition,and to analyze the importance of problem solving ability in the physical core literacy.The third and forth part are the investigation of the status quo of senior one students’ problem solving ability under the physical core literacy,the analysis of the influencing factors and the proposal of corresponding strategies.Targeting at the senior one students and teachers at the QB Middle School in SH City,the questionnaire survey and interview analysis were carried out.According to the analysis of the questionnaire data,the ability of the senior one students to solve the physics problems was generally low.In addition,it was concluded that students’ individual characteristics,educational experience,practical experience as well as physical knowledge are significantly related to students’ physics problem solving ability.However,in the analysis of the influencing factors,conclusion can be drawn that nowadays students are highly independent,and factors such as parents’ literacy level and annual income are not significantly related to students’ physics problem solving ability.The fourth part relates the four dimensions of “physical concept”,“scientific thinking”,“scientific inquiry” and “scientific attitude and responsibility” to the questionnaire and interviews of the third part and proposes a series of strategies that aim to enhance senior one students’ physics problem solving ability,such as,in-depth study of new curriculum standards and grasping goals and requirements,attaching importance to establishing concepts and inferring patterns,broadening students’ knowledge,cultivating students’ ability to question and innovate,paying attention to problem variants and migration,strengthening modeling thinking,cultivating the ability to discover problems and ask questions and so on in the hope that students’ physics problem solving ability can be enhanced.The fifth part combines the proposed strategy with the actual teaching through a two-month internship at the QB Middle School in SH City,where the author worked on the teaching designs of the three typical courses of “elasticity”,“free fall” and “friction” corresponding to the strategies proposed.The results revealed that the students’ physics problem solving ability has been enhanced in the three dimensions in terms of physics problem solving attitude,physics problem solving strategy and method,and physics problem solving quality.Besides,their academic achievement has also been improved.The sixth part mainly summarizes the major findings and the shortcomings of the present study.By relating the theory to the practice,this paper put forward some strategies which are based on the four dimensions under the physical core literacy,namely,“physical concept”,“scientific thinking”,“scientific inquiry” and “scientific attitude and responsibility” in the hope that it can enrich physics teaching and provide some reference for follow-up research. |
