Research of the Inquiry-Based Course Supported by Mobile Technology

In recent years, the inquiry-based teaching method has been gradually accepted by most educators, who believe that it provides more opportunities for the cultivation of students' scientific reasoning ability. With the development of science and technology, mobile technology has infiltrated into education. In this paper we discusses how we apply the inquiry-based teaching method in the course of "Exploration of Physical Phenomena" for undergraduates in Tongji University supported by mobile technology. The results show that this new teaching mode has a significant effect on the improvement of scientific reasoning ability compared with traditional teaching mode and brings a new experience to students.
