A Study On The Examination Of Scientific Inquiry Ability By The Physical Examination Questions Of The College Entrance Examination

The research on core literacy is one of the main topics in the field of education at present,which is the key to the new round of curriculum reform and is of great significance to the improvement of the quality of basic education in China.As far as physics teaching in senior high schools is concerned,the Curriculum Standard of Physics for Ordinary Senior High Schools(2017Edition)promulgated in 2018(hereinafter referred to as the Curriculum Standard)officially determines the core literacy system of physics.Scientific inquiry is an important dimension of the core literacy of physics,which contains the requirement of students' physical experiment ability and is very important for students' development.The Curriculum Standard also reflects the importance attached by the state to cultivating students' scientific inquiry literacy.College entrance examination,as one of the most important examinations in our country,plays an important role in the selection of talents and always leads the direction of basic education.The "National Unified Examination Syllabus for Enrollment of Higher Education Institutions(Physics)" released in 2019 clearly pointed out that the ability to be examined in physics subjects of college entrance examination included the experimental ability.Then how did the college entrance examination questions examine the scientific inquiry literacy? Studying this problem can provide reference for physics teaching and learning.By using the methods of literature analysis,statistical analysis and comparative research,this paper takes 213 titles of 15 sets of examination papers in 2016-2020 National College Entrance Examination Physics(?,?,?)as the research object,and through the analysis,summarizes the examination situation of college entrance examination physics examination questions on students' scientific inquiry ability.First of all,through reading the literature,we constructed the screening criteria of "scientific inquiry" test questions,and screened out 37 scientific inquiry test questions from the college entrance examination according to the screening criteria,and divided the selected scientific inquiry test questions into 136 independent analysis units.Secondly,the test questions from the test elements,the level of elements,knowledge modules,situation sources and other aspects of the analysis and statistics,and draw the following conclusions:(1)the college entrance examination physics questions pay more attention to the examination of students' scientific inquiry ability,scientific inquiry test scores accounted for stable in the past five years.(2)The college entrance examination questions of physics examine more elements of explanation and evidence in the four elements of scientific inquiry.(3)The examination level of each factor of scientific inquiry in college entrance examination physics questions is mainly at level four.(4)college entrance examination physics questions mainly in the form of experimental questions to examine the elements of scientific inquiry.(5)The college entrance examination physics questions to the student science inquiry ability examination mainly concentrates in the mechanics and electromagnetism module.Finally,based on the analysis conclusion of the college entrance examination questions,the proposition suggestions of the college entrance examination physics questions are put forward,and the targeted suggestions to the front-line physics teachers' teaching and students' physics learning are put forward from the four aspects of question,evidence,explanation and communication respectively.
