| With globalization and technological advancements,the demand for innovative talents is increasing.Physics,as a fundamental natural science discipline,plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating the creative and problem-solving abilities of young individuals.It also serves as a vital foundation for studying natural science and related interdisciplinary majors.Physics education progresses in stages from secondary to tertiary level,and the seamless transition between these stages not only affects students’ academic progress at the university level but also directly influences their personal development.However,there exists a certain gap between high school and university physics education.Due to the exam-oriented nature of high school physics education,the focus on bridging the gap with university-level physics is often overlooked.Consequently,incoming university students face difficulties adapting to the teaching requirements of university physics,causing confusion in their learning process.As education reforms continue to deepen and the overall enrollment rate in higher education increases,addressing the connection between high school and university physics becomes a pressing concern.Education is a comprehensive system,and many challenges faced by incoming university students during their physics education process are closely related to the shortcomings in high school physics teaching.Therefore,analyzing the issues concerning the connection between high school and university physics education and seeking relevant solutions have important practical significance and research value in improving students’ learning outcomes and abilities,as well as helping them adapt smoothly to university-level physics education.Based on literature analysis and survey data,this study examines high school physics education from the perspective of bridging the gap with university physics education,with a particular focus on the development of students’ abilities.The following tasks were accomplished:(1)Reviewing the current research status and analyzing existing achievements,which primarily concentrate on exploring how university physics education connects with high school physics.This study,however,focuses on high school physics education,investigating how it can better connect with university education.Consequently,this research defines its direction and approach.Theoretical analysis of teaching connections is conducted by integrating educational theories to identify the theoretical basis for teaching connections.(2)Employing interview and questionnaire survey methods to identify the main issues arising from the connection between high school and university physics education.The study finds that the major problem lies in students’ insufficient abilities and analyzes the current situation and defects of the cultivation of students’ abilities in high school physics education.It identifies the need to strengthen the connection between high school physics education and the development of students’ abilities,including independent learning ability,hands-on practice ability,and critical thinking ability.(3)Further analyzing the issues related to the development of students’ abilities and emphasizing the necessity of connecting abilities.This study proposes teaching strategies for enhancing students’ abilities in high school physics education.(4)Designing practical teaching methods based on the teaching strategies,including task-driven approaches,experimental inquiries,and the utilization of the history of physics.Relevant teaching cases are provided.Finally,taking "free fall motion" as an example,the teaching method is flexibly applied to write a teaching design with the goal of improving students’ independent learning ability,hands-on practice ability,and critical thinking ability.The novelty of this study lies in its discussion of the shortcomings in the development of students’ abilities in high school physics education from the perspective of connection.It offers valuable insights and teaching references for the teaching reform in high school physics education and the cultivation of diverse abilities among students. |
