采用“科学观调查问卷”(VASS),从沿着6个概念维度探讨了学生的物理认知观和学习观,并将学生的物理认知观分为专家型、高过渡型、低过渡型和民间型4种类型。作为解释VASS结果的一种辅助手段,本文对六个维度中的每一个维度的学生反应进行了定性分析,并对其与学生个人资料的关系进行了定量分析。具有专家形象的学生主要是科学现实主义者和批判性学习者。具有民间形象的学生主要是天真的现实主义者和被动的学习者。具有过渡性特征的学生持有这些观点的混合体。学生档案与物理成绩显著相关。事实上,它们可能是学生在物理课程中学习的主要决定因素。
Student views about knowing and learning physics have been probed with the Views About Sciences Survey (VASS) along six conceptual dimensions, and classified into four distinct profiles: expert, high transitional, low transitional, and folk. As an aid to interpreting VASS results, this article provides a qualitative analysis of student responses to items within each of the six dimensions and a quantitative analysis of their relation to students' profiles. Students with an expert profile are chiefly scientific realists and critical learners. Students with a folk profile are primarily naive realists and passive learners. Students with transitional profiles hold mixtures of these views. Student profiles correlate significantly with physics achievement. Indeed, they may be major determinants of what students learn in physics courses.
