中美大学生物理概念测试分析及对中学物理教育的启示

Analysis of FCI Test between Chinese and American Undergraduates and An Inspiration for Middle Schools’ Physics Education

最基本的物理概念应该是在中学就建立起来的，但通过测试发现中美大学生对物理概念的掌握并没有达到预期水平。本测试样本中的中国学生在中学阶段系统学习了五年物理，大多数美国学生在中学最多选修两年物理课程，但两国学生力学概念测试的平均成绩基本持平。进一步分析发现虽然两国学生成绩没有差别，但错误概念的表现形式有所不同，研究结果对我国中学物理教育有所启示。

Basic physics concepts of students should have been developed in middle and high school, but the test between Chinese and American undergraduates showed that students＇ understanding of physics concepts did not reach the expected level. In this test samples, the Chinese students has learned physics for five years and most American students enroll in physics at most two years during middle school, but their average points of FCI is almost equal. This research also shows that students＇ mistakes types of physics concepts are different between two countries. This research will have an inspiration for middle school physics education in China.
