A Case Study Of PhET Simulation Experiment Assisting High School Physics Modeling Teaching

The PhET(Physics Education Technology)simulation platform was founded by Nobel Laureate Carl Wiman in 2002 and a team at the University of Colorado specializes in operating the simulation platform.It aims to guide students to explore from the perspective of scientists.Its design criteria come from the study of how students learn.As well as the test of the simulation program,this is exactly in line with the idea of integrating information technology and physics teaching advocated by my country’s new curriculum standards.The concept of model is included in the core literacy of physics proposed in the"General High School Physics Curriculum Standards" issued by the Ministry of Education in 2017.This paper chooses the PhET simulation platform to try to assist the teaching of physics modeling,carry out relevant teaching design and practice.This paper adopts literature research method,classroom observation method,questionnaire survey method,interview method and case study method to study the application of PhET simulation experiment to physics modeling teaching.The research mainly includes the following contents.In the first and second chapters,the literature research method is used to investigate the current research status at home and abroad,and innovations are proposed,and the concept of modeling and simulation is defined.Based on the theory of constructivism and concept transformation,a simulation experiment for PhET is designed to be used in physical construction.The research technical route of model teaching.The third chapter conducts investigations on physical modeling and PhET simulation experiments for students and teachers,and summarizes the students’ understanding of physical models and teachers’ understanding of PhET simulation experiments.The fourth chapter analyzes the feasibility of the four stages of modeling teaching and designs an effective teaching flow chart.Based on this,the physics part of the PhET simulation experiment high school is organized and summarized,and the"Capacitance of Capacitors" and "Magnetic Phenomena and Magnetic Fields" are selected."And "Single Pendulum" for teaching design.Chapter 5 analyzes the teaching effect after practice,and issues a questionnaire about the application of the PhET simulation experiment in the classroom.The analysis shows that students have a positive attitude towards the platform and believe that the PhET simulation experiment helps them to model physics and increase their interest and effect in learning.Chapter 6 is intended to provide effective reference for frontline teachers.
