Title: Innovation and Practice of Preparatory Physics Teaching Model Based on French Engineering Education System

Author: Wenjing Li, Haitao Lang

Abstract

Cultivating outstanding engineering talents has always been a hot issue that China’s higher education has been focusing on solving. The thinking methods of physics play a crucial role in cultivating students’ analytical and problem-solving abilities, however, most universities in our country adopt a traditional teaching method in physics courses, the passive learning in traditional teaching method lacks initiative and innovation, and cannot effectively cultivate high-quality innovative talents that contemporary society demands. In response to the demand for cultivating outstanding engineering talents in China and the current pain point problems in domestic university physics education, as a Sino-French cooperative institution, the Paris Curie Engineer School has drawn on the French engineer education system’s preparatory physics education model. With a focus on “learning,” the institution has practiced and explored the integration of teaching objectives, teaching resources, teaching methods, and teaching evaluation systems in preparatory physics courses. Compared to the traditional teaching method of college physics, the measures taken in our school could enhance students’ learning initiative, deepen their understanding of physics knowledge, improve the effectiveness of physics course teaching, and provide reference for the innovation of normal college physics education.
