在这篇文章中，我们描述了圣安德鲁斯大学开发的量子力学入门和中级教学的动画和动画可视化。这些动画旨在帮助学生建立量子力学概念的心理表征。他们集中在学生的困难和误解的已知领域，包括动画的关键一步一步的解释。这些动画是免费提供的，教师还可以获得其他资源。我们从学生的态度和表现两个方面调查了他们的教育效果。问卷调查显示，学生总体上对动画非常积极，并大量使用动画。一项对2级和3级学生进行的诊断性调查显示，2级学生在使用动画调查的主题上的表现明显优于3级学生。
In this paper, we describe animations and animated visualizations for introductory and intermediate-level quantum mechanics instruction developed at the University of St Andrews. The animations aim to help students build mental representations of quantum mechanics concepts. They focus on known areas of student difficulty and misconceptions by including animated step-by-step explanations of key points. The animations are freely available, with additional resources available to instructors. We have investigated their educational effectiveness both in terms of student attitude and performance. Questionnaires showed that students are on the whole very positive about the animations and make substantial use of them. A diagnostic survey administered to level 2 and 3 students showed that level 2 students significantly outperformed level 3 students on topics which they had investigated using the animations.
