| Since 2015,the State Council and the Ministry of Education have issued a number of policy documents and pointed out that we should further explore and develop the STEM education mode in primary and secondary education.In the new curriculum standard of junior high school physics,it is proposed that students’ ability of interdisciplinary knowledge integration,practical exploration and independent thinking should be enhanced.The above abilities are advocated and cultivated by the STEM education concept.However,through field research,the author found that current primary and secondary schools do not pay enough attention to STEM education,and there is a lack of education and professional series courses on STEM ability.Through the analysis of the survey data,it can be found that the current situation of junior middle school physics teaching has the following problems: teachers are not accurate in their own positioning and ignore the cultivation of students’ inquiry consciousness;Too much emphasis on the examination of textbook knowledge,lack of the use of experimental way to construct knowledge;Too much attention to basic knowledge,ignoring the cultivation of students’ creative thinking and other issues.In view of the above three kinds of problems,the author conducted the following research:First of all,this study starts with the analysis of the current situation of physics teaching,combs and finds out the advanced teaching experience of foreign education in the cultivation of students’ STEM literacy,and understands the research background,purpose and significance of the subject.By analyzing the existing research results and taking constructivism,humanism and "learning by doing" as the theoretical basis,this paper puts forward the idea of integrating STEM education and 5E inquiry mode.In view of the above research background,this paper proposes three research objectives:1.To carry out the teaching design of integrating STEM and 5E inquiry teaching mode;2.3.Through the above teaching design and teaching mode,stimulate students’ creative thinking ability and learning and exploration consciousness.Secondly,in the process of exploring the integration of STEM education and 5E model,this study analyzes the design principles,design methods and design strategies.On this basis,the integrated and designed teaching model gives the meaning of STEM education to each step in the five-ring teaching of "introduction,inquiry,explanation,transfer and evaluation",so as to realize the process of "introduction,collective construction,individual construction,transfer and internalization" of STEM knowledge.In each round of inquiry activities,students’ personalized and diversified learning effects promote the horizontal and vertical development of their own cognitive thinking.Through the construction and processing of knowledge,not only the connotation and denotation of knowledge can be deepened,but also the generation and transfer of knowledge can be deepened.Then,this study elaborates on how to apply the STEM 5E inquiry-based teaching model to practical teaching.In this study,two parallel classes of students from a public high school in Yinchuan were selected,and different teaching modes were carried out in the experimental class and the control class by using the quasi-experimental method.The teaching contents,objectives and strategies were clarified in the experiment,and sufficient preliminary preparation was made,and the teaching design and production process and teaching evaluation scheme were made.In this study,quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis will be used for evaluation.From a quantitative point of view,physics course scores of the subjects before and after the experiment are collected,and creative thinking ability is investigated by questionnaire.After each class,in-class tests are conducted to quantify the scores.From the qualitative point of view: the teachers involved in the experiment were interviewed,and the students’ classroom reactions were recorded by observation method in each lesson.Finally,this study selects representative cases under different teaching strategies for discussion,and expounds the cases from five aspects,including teaching content,teaching objectives,teaching strategies,preliminary preparation and teaching activity design.Through the collection of experimental data and the teaching effect analysis found that fusion STEM education of 5 e exploratory teaching model for academic performance has enhanced effect,at the same time can effectively improve the students’ creative thinking ability,and the use of different teaching strategies of the teaching effect is different,the empirical formula to explore strategies work best.Although the teaching experiment has achieved some results,this study still rationally analyzes the limitations of the current experiment process.The current experiment has problems such as short experiment period,small sample size,few experimental demonstration angles and weak flexibility of teaching model.We hope to improve the above problems in subsequent experiments and make targeted adjustments.To sum up,this study is a preliminary study that integrates STEM education with5 E inquiry mode and applies it to junior middle school physics teaching.In the implementation process,problems are found and solved,and new ideas under this mode are put forward.This paper aims to provide a new perspective of classroom teaching for junior middle school physics teachers. |
