Application of PBL Teaching Method in Physical Chemistry Teaching-Taking the Teaching of the First Law of Thermodynamics as an Example
With the rapid development of basic science,the traditional teaching method,which mainly relies on teacher lectures,cannot meet the needs of both teachers and students effectively.In order to adapt to the new trends and improve the quality of teaching,it is necessary to introduce more advanced teaching methods.Problem-Based Learning(PBL)is a student-centered teaching approach that is problem-oriented.It enhances students'engagement in the curriculum,stimulates active thinking,and promotes students'initiative and goal-oriented learning.It enables targeted learning,activates students'thinking,and ignites their interest in learning.This article takes the teaching of the first and second laws of thermodynamics,specifically Clausius'statement,in the"Physical Chemistry"course as an example.By combining teaching objectives with practical applications,it elaborates on the mode and pros and cons of PBL teaching method.Practice has shown that PBL reduces the difficulty of understanding the first law of thermodynamics and Clausius'statement,making it easier for students to comprehend and accept.It also stimulates students'interest in learning,making the classroom atmosphere more lively and interesting.
