| Research-based learning is to cultivate the creativ(?) spirit and the practicing ability of students by means of changing their learning styles. In the research-based learning, the students can seek from datum, do experiments, make suppositions and search for proofs with a similar manner of scientific research, but not passively memorize and understand the knowledge from the teachers, so they can draw a physics conclusion in the end. Based on the features of senior physics and practice teaching,kinds of teaching modes are explored actively to carry out research-based learning in senior physics teaching.The cognitive tool of concept maps with represents,checks,corrects,perfects knowledge can arrange various concepts and their relations as a special form of layer structure in common with memorization of cerebrum. It can promote combination of the old and the new knowledge, construct the learning web, compress the knowledge structure, and then make the knowledge held in a whole. From investigation, the applications effect of concept map in some aspects is obvious, such as the design of course and teaching, teaching and learning, evaluation of teaching, cultivation of creative thoughts and problem-solving, and the guidance of metarecognization, cooperation study and so on. However, at present ,the application of concept map in research-based learning has not been developed.In this paper, on basis of the introduction of physics research-based learning, as well as implication and the meaning of concept map , the writer explores the corresponding theory foundation and theory system, and systematically discusses the feasibility and essentiality of which the concept map is used to develop physics research-based learning.The writer explores two kinds of teaching modes which are in class and out of class, using for reference of the internal and overseas practical fruit for research-based learning, and combining with practice research, and finally performs an experiment study on the effect of research-based learning based on concept map through teaching experiment, and furthermore, the experiment result is also be stated and analyzed. The result shows that concept map can accelerate the effective development of research-based learning, enhance the teaching quality, stimulate the students to learn, improve the study grade and promote physics teaching quality as well. |
