Stimulate Students' Thinking and Creativity by Active Teaching Methods in the Content Section "Electromagnetic Induction" - General Physics

Abstract

This article introduces one of the teaching methods that is very meaningful in enhancing the activeness of learners: applying a combination of some active teaching methods to teach the chapter "Electromagnetic Induction" of the General Physics subject at the Vietnam - Korea University of Information and Communication Technology. With this method, students are almost completely proactive, self-reliant in searching and receiving knowledge. Through the article, the author presents that the class is divided into groups of students, each group takes on a certain amount of knowledge in the chapter. The lecturer guides and requires the groups to manufacture, assemble, and operate experiments related to the knowledge that needs to be built. Those experiments and knowledge are written by students using Powerpoint software and presented in reports on the fabrication and operation of the experiments to clarify knowledge for the whole class. After each group's report, students and the lecturer comment, evaluate, supplement, standardize knowledge, and together build and receive knowledge in line with the objectives of the chapter. Teaching results show that: In terms of knowledge, students acquire knowledge more deeply, apply theory to exercises better. In terms of skills, students form problem-solving ability, practical action ability, etc. That shows that the proactive teaching method contributes to innovating teaching methods in universities and colleges today. Therefore, the author wants to emphasize the ability to use proactive teaching methods in the process of teaching physics to stimulate thinking and exploration to enhance students' creativity at school.
