Development And Application Of Virtual-Learning Platform EPhysics In Senior High School Physics

The integration of informational technology and high school physics curriculum has its unique advantages.Digit Information System(DIS)with sensor as the core has achieved fruitful results,and various virtual laboratories are also booming.Modern physics has been a mature fundamental science that is supported by three pillars,namely experiment,theory and computation.In addition to experimental and theoretical inquiry,computational inquiry should also be permeated in high school stage.High school physics teachers currently mainly employ software developed abroad,including Sketchpad,GeoGebra,Matlab and Mathematica,to inquiry.It is necessary to independently develop a practical and light software platform with a “physics character”.Based on the two main lines of teaching software development and physics curriculum integration application,the paper mainly adopts the methods of literature survey,system science,action research,and computer simulation experiment,and consists of four parts.Firstly,it discusses the psychological mechanism,development and evaluation principles and integration concepts of the virtual learning platform teaching application from the perspectives of educational psychology,educational technology,and physics inquiry methods,and its application prospect in physics inquiry.Secondly,it chooses open source tool(C/C++ and wxWidgets/OpenGL)to develop practical and light high school physics teaching and learning software(which is called ePhysics),and combines scripting language VBScript and WPS to become a powerful inquiry virtual learning platform.Thirdly,the platform is used to carry out applied research on the key and difficult points of high school physics from three inquiry ways of experiment,theory and computation,forming a systematic “tool-case” integration mode,which improves the confidence of high school teachers and students in physics theory and data inquiry.Finally,based on the platform and the fundamentals of physics,emphasizing motion simulation,and conservation of mechanical energy,a practical and feasible exploration mode of high school computational physics has been constructed.
