Trying Of Project-based Learning In University Physics Teaching

The 21 century is a knowledge-economic era characteristic of creativity and application of knowledge ,and frequency of creativity and application of knowledge is constantly quickened, updating period of knowledge is shorten . In order toupdate one's own knowledge constantly to keep pace with drastic change andcompetition in the society, it is very important to possess the ability of "being able to work learn and research". Effective means of cultivating this consciousness and ability is project-based learning .Project-based learning means that students choose and determine project to research from nature social and livelihood with teachers guide, and drivingly procure knowledge, apply knowledge and solve concrete problem. This learning method has three major functions: cultivating open individuality and an insight into future, activating inquiring interesting and creative consciousness and shaping down-to-earth spirit and operating ability. Project-based learning is not only the call of times but also the necessary historic certainty. As an important means and carrier in educating students creative consciousness and practical ability. Project-based learning is undoubtedly a hot spot, a difficult point and a sparking point in basic education reforming. The writer thinks that we should also appreciate Project-based learning in high-education that is the base of person-training.Project-based learning is opposite to acceptance-based learning. As far as development for man is concerned, the both are necessary, and they complement each other and happen at the same time during the concrete activity of man .Because they excessively depended on acceptance-based learning in the past, so the students can not creat but only accept,which means shortage of capacity for individuality and losing power that progress depends on for country,especially the students who are fostered in Chinese traditional education should appreciateProject-based learning .On the ground of educative theory, this paper exposits connotation and characteristic of Project-based learning and why we should also enforce project-based learning in high school .As far as substance of Project-based learning and objective circumstance what it should have are concerned, it points out the practical ability. At last, based on that university physics education has relatively longer cycle, it proposes stage pattern for enforce Project-based learning and give two concrete cases,which discuss capacitance of confocal oval-shaped stylar Capacitor and potential distribution of charged conductor of surface being uniparted hyperboloid.
