The Analysis Of Knowledge For Thermodynamics Teaching Materials Of General Physics

In these years, the study on the modernization of content for general physics education has been made rapid progress, and some profound problems have been put forward. Exploring deep into these problems provides wide background for the study on the teaching materials and its knowledge of thermodynamics course.The thermodynamics teaching materials of general physics is the important resource and tool for teaching and learning. Some materials are stuffed by limited and outmoded content. Lack of sufficient attention on teaching and learning, they can' t embody the trend of subjects integration. These defects influence the function of teaching materials directly.Some innovative thermodynamics teaching materials published recently provide nice perspectives for further research. On this point, to analyze the knowledge of thermodynamics on the basis of curriculum theory and materials comparison is a good way for the modernization study of thermodynamics teaching materials.But it is complicated to analyze knowledge. The study ofcurriculum theories and comparison among representative materials showed that it should be determined on the base of some pivotal principles and try to keep balance between subject, students and society. Being one practical and complicated task, it would be preferable to explore one possible breakthrough than do more vague talk.To analyze the knowledge from the angle of knowledge form transform could be such a good breakthrough. From a didactical view, this paper classified knowledge into two forms: academic form and educational form. Through the definitude of the meaning and connotation of educational form, the paper pointed out that the form transformation theory can be guidance for the knowledge analysis. The method for thermodynamics knowledge transform was discussed.The transform requests the mastery of knowledge relation, which can be embodied by the knowledge structure of teaching materials concentratively. Starting from the request of transform, after probing deep into the relative factors in knowledge structure of thermodynamics teaching materials building, one structure shape different from the familiar ones could be shaped, which is clued by hypothesis - theory -application . And it does not try to deny the familiar ones, butattempts to look over the knowledge of thermodynamics teaching materials and its structure anew.
