Information Literacy for Undergraduate Physics | Book Publisher International

Information literacy is an essential competence for the contemporary information society. The 21st century puts forward new requirements for students’ education and learning. This book reviewed the definition of information literacy and information literacy standards in various countries, and combs the evaluation and research of information literacy by scholars from various countries. Based on the theoretical research of information literacy and information literacy education, we designed a questionnaire for undergraduates' information literacy, and grasped the information literacy status of science and engineering students through the questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire survey, the book analyzes the characteristics of information literacy of science and engineering students and the problems existing in information literacy education. The results demonstrate that the undergraduates’ level of information literacy is on the intermediate. The undergraduate education of physics is mainly to lay a foundation for professionals engaged in the research and teaching of frontier issues in physics and related disciplines, and also to cultivate compound and comprehensive talents who can apply physics to various fields of technology and society. Based on the teaching of physics undergraduate course, the book expounds how to effectively implement information literacy education in undergraduate physics teaching.

Emphasizing the Impact of Experiments in Physics Lessons – “Why, When, How Often?” | Chapter 7 | Current Perspectives on Chemical Sciences Vol. 9

 Science teaching and learning are incomplete without practical practises. The majority of school laboratories nowadays are well-equipped with experimental instruments and computer-based experimentation systems (Vernier, Pasco). Our main research question is whether using all of this equipment makes physics teaching more efficient. The aim of this paper is to explore the effectiveness of teacher-led laboratory work and experiments for students in different types of schools. Physics is an experimental science, and the most effective way to validate theoretical principles is through laboratory work. Students, like scholars, need to be able to evaluate their own thoughts. What methods do we need to improve or enrich students' scientific knowledge by the use of experiments? In the material of school curricula, examples of how to design learning results of hands-on experiments as well as computer-based experiments will be discussed.
