将物理学史引入大学物理教学的途径和意义

THE APPROACH AND SIGNIFICANCE OF INTRODUCING THE HISTORY OF PHYSICS INTO UNIVERSITY PHYSICS TEACHING

本文中,我们讨论将物理学史与物理科学知识进行融合讲述的途径及其意义。在"大学物理"课程教学过程中,课堂上的绝大部分时间被用来进行科学知识的讲述,而物理学史的相关内容往往被放弃。这种教育方式使得学生只能被动地从逻辑上去接受所有的物理知识,对物理学的探索和发展过程却一无所知,进而影响了科学文化传播以及科学精神的培养。本文探讨在课堂上适当引入物理学史的内容,并且将物理学史与物理科学知识放在同等地位进行讲授。我们建议将"物理学史"作为核心内容的一部分加入到《理工科类大学物理课程教学基本要求》之中。这种改变将有助于学生培养科学精神,了解科学研究的过程和方法,获得正确评价科学事业的能力。

In this paper, we discuss the significance and feasibility of integrating the history of physics with the knowledge of physical science. In the course of teaching "university physics", most of the time in class is spent on the presentation of scientific knowledge, and the related content of the history of physics is often abandoned. This way of education makes students can only passively went up from logic to accept all the physical knowledge, the exploration and development process of physics are ignorant, thus influence the spread of the scientific culture and the cultivation of scientific spirit. This paper discusses the proper introduction of the history of physics in class, and puts the history of physics and the knowledge of physical science in the same status. We suggest that "the history of physics" be included in 《the basic requirements of physics teaching in the science and engineering university》as part of the core content. This change will help students develop a scientific spirit, understand the process and methods of scientific research, and gain the ability to evaluate scientific undertakings correctly.
