Strategies of Theoretical Physics Instruction Reform

Theoretical physics is the main constitute part of physics science. The instruction of theoretical physics courses plays an important role in the research of basic science and training physics talents. Most of students considered that the knowledge of theoretical physics is very abstract and causing many difficulties in study. But students have initiatives to learn theoretical physics well. Teachers can implement some teaching reform strategies to improve the quality of theoretical physics instruction. The strategies are as follow: stimulate students’ interest in learning, perfect students' cognitive structure and knowledge structure of theoretical physics; optimize the system of theoretical physics curriculum, enrich the instruction contents; apply heuristic instruction in theoretical physics teaching; establish virtual theoretical physics experiments and improve assessment and appraisal methods, promote students' all-round development.
