物理学史是物理教学必不可少的一部分,这已在广大物理教师中形成共识,但对物理学史功能的认识往往还很肤浅。在新课程理念下物理学史比在传统教育中具有更多的教育功能。在中学物理教学中适当引入物理学史,与新课程的注重人的“情感态度与价值观”、“过程与方法”及“知识与技能”三维培养目标是一致的。一、在知识与技能方面1.物理学史有助于学生理解物理知识。现行教材的编排一般采用逻辑的方法,将几百年甚至上千年来人们对物理世界的认识成果简练地呈现给学生。 The history of physics is an indispensable part of physics teaching. This has formed a consensus among the physics teachers, but the understanding of the function of physics history is often superficial. Under the new curriculum concept, physics history has more educational functions than traditional education. Introducing the history of physics in secondary school physics teaching is consistent with the three-dimensional training objectives of the new curriculum, which emphasizes on people’s “emotional attitudes and values,” “processes and methods,” and “knowledge and skills.” First, in terms of knowledge and skills 1. The history of physics helps students understand physical knowledge. The arrangement of the current teaching materials generally adopts a logical method. The understanding of the physical world for hundreds of years or even thousands of years is succinctly presented to students.
