The Practice of Integrating Curriculum Ideology and Politics into University Physics Course Teaching Organically

In the process of cultivating high-quality applied talents in contemporary colleges and universities, any teacher should integrate curriculum ideology and politics into daily curriculum teaching. This is a task that every teacher must undertake. It is an inevitable requirement for the cultivation of high-quality talents with Chinese characteristics and socialism. It is an inevitable requirement for the cultivation of high-quality talents that meet the (outcome-based education) OBE concept and the needs of the country. Through years of organic integration of the ideological and political content of the curriculum into the teaching practice of college physics, the author has realized that this can not only achieve better teaching results, but also comprehensively improve the teachers' own education and teaching level. The author would like to take this opportunity to share some personal experiences with colleagues.

The Teaching of General College Physics in Jolo

The purpose of this study is to record, examine and describe the common teaching strategies employed by college faculty members teaching general college physics in the five colleges in Jolo and to know as well what combination of teaching strategy employed by physics teacher in Jolo enhances achievement scores of students. Likewise, the evaluation on the learning facilities used in teaching physics was also taken into consideration. The study utilized the descriptive method of research and the normative survey technique was used for data gathering Purposive sampling was utilized and the respondents taken were composed of all faculty members handling college physics subjects and their respective students enrolled during the second semester of school year 2010 to 2011. The findings showed that the top three most common teaching strategies employed by teachers in teaching general college physics in Jolo are: problem solving, lecture, and board work. These strategies enhanced achievement scores of students. On the other hand, as far as learning facilities are concerned they were inadequate as most important equipment and tools necessary in the teaching of physics subjects were not available and if existing they were not functioning. However, despite the inadequacy of learning facilities, majority of the students have higher probability of passing the course based on their midterm exam. It is highly recommended that physics teachers must be exposed to various teaching strategies in order for them to be abreast with the latest methods in teaching physics. Furthermore, administrators are urged to upgrade school laboratories by procuring equipment, materials and other learning facilities indispensably needed in the teaching of general college physics.

Research on the Application of VPython 3D Dynamic Visualization in the Teaching of College Physics

As there are numerous physics formulas in addition to them being theoretical, college students generally consider the concepts of physics as abstract, in which they are not able to apply what they have learned. For 3D dynamic animation and visualization in the teaching of college physics, VPyton has many advantages, and it provides useful exploration for students to overcome obstacles in college physics learning. Taking the teaching of simple harmonic vibration, optics, molecular thermal motion, and electric field as examples, this article discusses the application of VPython in the human-computer interactive teaching mode of college physics, which provides a beneficial exploration and new way to improve students’ engineering skills and numeracy, as well as to respond to the national “new engineering education” reform in China.

Covariant Physics

This book is an introduction to the modern methods of the general theory of relativity, tensor calculus, space time geometry, the classical theory of fields, and a variety of theoretical physics oriented topics rarely discussed at the level of the intended reader (mid-college physics major). It does so from the point of view of the so-called principle of covariance; a symmetry that underlies most of physics, including such familiar branches as Newtonian mechanics and electricity and magnetism. The book is written from a minimalist perspective, providing the reader with only the most basic of notions; just enough to be able to read, and hopefully comprehend, modern research papers on these subjects. In addition, it provides a (hopefully short) preparation for the student to be able to conduct research in a variety of topics in theoretical physics; with particular emphasis on physics in curved spacetime backgrounds. The hope is that students with a minimal mathematical background in calculus and only some introductory courses in physics may be able to study this book and benefit from it.

Design and implementation of college physics teaching platform based on virtual experiment scene

In the study of college physics, experiment is the source of students' discovery and exploration of problems, which plays a crucial role in college physics and is also the focus of physics teaching. This paper mainly studies how to use B/S architecture and MVC design pattern according to the characteristics of college physics teaching, including user management and system function modules. In order to illustrate the role of virtual experiment scene based College Physics Teaching Platform in college physics learning, a virtual physics laboratory teaching platform based on B/S three-tier structure system and MVC mode is constructed by using Java, VRML and flash interactive technology. Based on the advantages of virtual technology, this platform starts with the construction of a teaching platform of virtual experiment scene, analyzes students' mastery of university physics experiments before and after the use of it, and then carries out a systematic survey of students' satisfaction, thus obtaining the influence of this teaching platform on university physics learning of college students. The results show that the platform constructed in this paper can help college students better grasp the operation of physical experiments, so as to better understand the relevant knowledge points in college physics learning, and has a good reference value.
