An Experimental Research On Cultivating Senior One Students’ Ability Of Physics Problem-representation

The theme of the researching project lies in making a study of the representationdifference in the course of problem-solving of senior school students theoretically andpractically, along with the experimental study under the teaching in the normal condition.Problem representation is the core of the problem-solving. A problem representation is acertain view of a problem an an approach to solving it. The same problem may be easy ordifferent, be solved quickly or slowly, depending on the way we represent it. It has practicalsignificance for achieving the goal of teaching students according to their attitudes andimproving their abilities of solving problem to study the students’ rule and mental feature ofproblem representation.In this paper, on the basis of previous research, we investigate present status of thephysical problem’s muti-representations in senior one students. Aimed at the current situationwhere students feel it difficult to solve problem in physics, an approach will be put forward tocultivate problem-solving ability, for which an experimental research will be made to test itsvalidation.We selected some high school students as experimental subjects and adopt some physicsproblems of high school as experimental tasks. We put forward some suggestions on how toimprove students’ ability to represent physics problem. By using quantitative and qualitativeanalysis of oral reports and cognitive tasks of the experimental subjects, we arrive at threeconclusions and those are as follows:(1) The training of representation physical abilities can make high school students’problem representation ability improved.(2) The students’ representation physical abilities can be improved through thesituational teaching method.
