TY - JOUR AU - LI, Yin PY - 2026 TI - AI-POWERED PROGRAMMATIC PRACTICE OF THE “ETA FOUR BEAUTIES AND THREE OPENINGS” PEDAGOGY IN PHYSICS TEACHING JO - Physics and Engineering SN - 1009-7104 SP - 257 EP - 263 VL - 36 IS - 3 AB - This paper proposes an instructional framework for physics teaching that takes the“Four Beauties” (technical, scientific, artistic, and humanistic) as four defining dimensions of classroom design and the “Three Openings” as progressive levels of student cognition. The framework provides practical pathways for fostering key competencies in physics, including the “Four Degrees and Eight Actions” model of teacher-student behavior, the ETA physics cognitive model, the “Three Laws of Teaching,” and a set of instructional design guidelines. With AI support, this framework enables the integrated generation of multiple versions of physics instructional designs across educational stages, from junior high school to university. It therefore offers a practical, scalable, and easily adaptable approach to competency-oriented physics teaching. UR - https://doi.org/10.26599/PHYS.2026.9320334 DO - 10.26599/PHYS.2026.9320334
