技术应用型院校大学物理实验课程教学改革的研究与实践

针对大学物理实验教学目前存在的问题,考虑到物理学科的发展趋势及高等教育改革的基本要求,本着更新物理实验教师的教育思想和教育观念、加强教师的培养、调整教学体系和教学内容、改革传统的教学方法和现有的大学物理实验考核体系和评价体系以及加强实验室管理等原则,对大学物理实验教学进行了研究和实践。     

基于MATLAB的静电场模拟

在静电场中引入电位和电场强度后,通过等电位线图和场强分布图可以具体的描述静电场这种抽象的物质场。传统的静电场模拟实验直观地展现出了静电场的分布从而形象地描述了静电场,由于这种方法属于类比模拟,所以存在一定的缺陷(比如不直接,不能描述立体规律等等)。随着计算机技术的发展,利用计算机技术来模拟静电场等物质场逐渐成为趋势。通过借鉴大量资料简要地介绍了如何利用计算机模拟静电场,如何利用MATLAB软件模拟静电场的问题。     

中心化开放式大学物理实验教学管理系统的设计

The impact of instructor pedagogy on college calculus students’ attitude toward mathematics

College calculus teaches students important mathematical concepts and skills. The course also has a substantial impact on students’ attitude toward mathematics, affecting their career aspirations and desires to take more mathematics. This national US study of 3103 students at 123 colleges and universities tracks changes in students’ attitudes toward mathematics during a ‘mainstream’ calculus course while controlling for student backgrounds. The attitude measure combines students’ self-ratings of their mathematics confidence, interest in, and enjoyment of mathematics. Three major kinds of instructor pedagogy, identified through the factor analysis of 61 student-reported variables, are investigated for impact on student attitude as follows: (1) instructors who employ generally accepted ‘good teaching’ practices (e.g. clarity in presentation and answering questions, useful homework, fair exams, help outside of class) are found to have the most positive impact, particularly with students who began with a weaker initial attitude. (2) Use of educational ‘technology’ (e.g. graphing calculators, for demonstrations, in homework), on average, is found to have no impact on attitudes, except when used by graduate student instructors, which negatively affects students’ attitudes towards mathematics. (3) ‘Ambitious teaching’ (e.g. group work, word problems, ‘flipped’ reading, student explanations of thinking) has a small negative impact on student attitudes, while being a relatively more constructive influence only on students who already enjoyed a positive attitude toward mathematics and in classrooms with a large number of students. This study provides support for efforts to improve calculus teaching through the training of faculty and graduate students to use traditional ‘good teaching’ practices through professional development workshops and courses. As currently implemented, technology and ambitious pedagogical practices, while no doubt effective in certain classrooms, do not appear to have a reliable, positive impact on student attitudes toward mathematics.     

The impact of taking a college pre-calculus course on students’ college calculus performance

Poor performance on placement exams keeps many US students who pursue a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) career from enrolling directly in college calculus. Instead, they must take a pre-calculus course that aims to better prepare them for later calculus coursework. In the USA, enrollment in pre-calculus courses in two- and four-year colleges continues to grow, and these courses are well-populated with students who already took pre-calculus in high school. We examine student performance in college calculus, using regression discontinuity to estimate the effects of taking college pre-calculus or not, in a national US sample of 5507 students at 132 institutions. We find that students who take college pre-calculus do not earn higher calculus grades.
