In response to the issues in traditional assessment of college physics courses, such as the dominance of summative evaluation, insufficient achievement of ability cultivation goals, and delayed feedback, this study constructs a dynamic process-oriented assessment system integrating knowledge, skills, and literacy based on the philosophy of Outcome-Based Education (OBE). By innovating the assessment concept and designing the assessment goals in a reverse manner, a three-stage evaluation mechanism of “pre-class diagnosis-in-class monitoring-post-class verification” is integrated. Combined with a blended teaching model of online and offline, it comprehensively tracks students' learning trajectories and the dynamics of their ability development. A tiered evaluation standard is established, and diversified assessment methods such as classroom interaction, chapter tests, phased tests, mind maps, topic discussions, group projects, and additional points for competition achievements are introduced. After implementing the teaching practice for two cohorts of students in 2022 and 2023, it was found that the proportion of students with excellent grades (≥80 points) increased by 27.3 percentage points compared to the traditional assessment model, while the proportion of students with low scores (≤69 points) decreased by 21.6 percentage points. The total score rate of process-oriented assessment increased by 2.5% for the 2023 cohort compared to the 2022 cohort (reaching 83.4%), with classroom interaction participation exceeding 40%, and participation in subject competitions and innovative discussions increased by 31.4% compared to the traditional model. The conclusion indicates that this system significantly optimizes the grade distribution structure, strengthens students' knowledge transfer and higher-order thinking abilities, and collaboratively promotes the development of critical thinking, practical innovation, and teamwork skills.

In the era of digital intelligence, labor education courses in universities need to reflect the characteristics of the times, and combine comprehensiveness, practicality, and openness. To achieve this, an innovative curriculum system is essential. Leveraging the strengths of the physics discipline, integrating project-based learning, and utilizing information technology, the course “Physics Popularization in Labor Education and Practice” integrates project-based learning and utilizes information technology tools. By emphasizing hands-on experience and the integration of theory and practice, it effectively enhances the educational outcomes. The course is outcome-oriented, with teaching objectives, instructional methods, and evaluation modes centered around student participation. Through student-designed experiments and self-produced science communication videos, various physics concepts are vividly and intuitively explained. These videos are then shared on online platforms, achieving the goal of public science communication.

The construction of the college physics curriculum should be closely related to the frontier of the scientific and technological development and research. This paper explores the teaching method of integrating finite element simulation design with university physics teaching, enhancing the depth and breadth of the basic courses, aiming to promote students' solid grasp of basic physics knowledge and improve students' spirit and ability to innovate and forge ahead. In addition, the combination of the scientific frontier and teaching contents are studied, which reflects the frontier and the time of the curriculum. This teaching program is beneficial to improve students' comprehensive ability, and train high-quality talents for scientific and technological researchs to fulfil national strategic demands.

Thermoelectric devices based on thermoelectric effect have special advantages in the conversion between heat and electric energy, and the performance optimization of thermoelectric device has the practical significance, Based on the finite-time thermodynamic theory, this paper studies the thermodynamic characteristics of thermoelectric generators and refrigerators by using the ecological criterion, On the basis of constructing the ecological criterion function,the expressions of efficiency and coefficient of performance (COP) of thermoelectric devices are derived, and the influence of ambient temperature and thermoelectric figure of merit on efficiency and COP is explained. It is found that when the ambient temperature is low (high).which is helpful for enhancing the efficiency (COP) of generators (refrigerators). In addition,the relationship between ecological criterion and trade-off optimization criterion is definitely clarified.

It is an effective way to train new engineering talents to take the problems encountered in the teaching practice of electrostatic field as extracurricular research topics. Based on the concept of STEAM education, this paper adopts project-based learning, takes student as the main body, and takes interdisciplinary integration and innovation as the orientation, to develop teaching objectives and teaching methods. Physics theory and experimental innovation are organically integrated to guide students to design a new visual automatic surveying instrument for electric field by combining single-chip microcomputer technology and Matlab program. This instrument is easy to operate and efficient, with high measurement accuracy, and can visually display the dynamic changes of the electric field. The process of applying knowledge to practice improves students ability of innovation and comprehensive application of knowledge, and also provides new ideas for the reform of teaching in universites.
