Teaching And Research In Physics Offered To Liberal Arts Students In The University

With the overall popularization of the quality—oriented education, the cross of arts and science, and of different disciplines is the trend of the development of modern higher education. One of the key issues in the higher education teaching system is: science students should improve their arts knowledge and arts students should improve their science knowledge . Science students' knowledge in humanities has improved a lot, yet arts students' knowledge in science is still in the stage of exploration. The physics, upon its status in natural science and its indiscerptible relationship to other disciplines, has become an important course for arts students. By researching the sense of offering the course of physics to arts students in domestic universities, we found that they usually only consider its effect on improving the science quality of arts students, which is obviously unilateral, so we try to perfect it. In this thesis, we first consider from the following four additional aspects the sense of offering the course of physics to arts students:①constructing arts students' reasonable structure of knowledge;②realizing the reciprocal effect of education in science and arts;③learning from the first world-class university, exploring scientific and reasonable patter of education;④offering arts students the course of physics is the requirement of the development of physics education. Then, according to the particularity of the objects of teaching, we analyze the characteristics of arts college physics, and research theoretically the compilation of textbooks and its rules of choice. Finally, we make the relevant multimedia courseware to assist teaching. PowerPoint and Flash has been selected as the tools of making courseware. Ten pieces of courseware have been made, including the application of physics in space flight, optics, energy resources, materials and medication. Flash has been used to make the relative cartoons or generate the GIF files which are inserted to the courseware in order to make up the shortcomings of those courseware made by PowerPoint. Moreover, in order to meet the requirement proposed by teaching physics to arts students, those courseware has been kept modifying and perfecting according to the feedbacks of teaching.
