论文摘要
本科物理课程的目标之一是让学生意识到正式的物理原理与个人经验之间的联系。但是，研究表明，在本科物理学课程的指导下，摘要和体验之间对摘要和体验之间的联系的认识往往会恶化，有时会大大变化。尽管在文献中广泛讨论了这种现象，但很少设计或实施教学干预措施来解决本科物理学教学中的这一特殊弱点。在这项工作中，我们表明了一种由躯体冥想和沉思组成的沉思实践加深了学生对正式物理原理和个人经验之间联系的认识，这是故意将他们注意到周围环境中电磁现象的注意力。在此过程中，学生还注意到电动力原理与化学和生物系统之间的跨学科联系。我们还发现，沉思的实践唤醒了理解电磁理论的内在动机，以及对沉思实践的躯体，情感和认知益处的欣赏。
One of the objectives of the undergraduate physics curriculum is for students to become aware of the connections between formal physical principles and personal experience. However, research has shown that awareness of connections between the abstract and the experiential tends to deteriorate, sometimes significantly, following instruction in undergraduate physics courses. Although this phenomenon has been discussed extensively in the literature, few pedagogical interventions have been designed or implemented to address this particular weakness in undergraduate physics instruction. In this work, we show that a contemplative practice consisting of a somatic meditation and a contemplation deepens students' awareness of the connections between formal physical principles and personal experience by deliberately drawing their attention to electromagnetic phenomena in their surroundings. In this process, students also note interdisciplinary connections between electrodynamic principles and chemical and biological systems. We also find that the contemplative practice awakens an intrinsic motivation to understand electromagnetic theory, as well as an appreciation for the somatic, affective, and cognitive benefits of a contemplative practice.
