Home experiments teaching for international students during pandemic

Abstract

Abstract This paper introduces the home teaching of physics experiment course for international students in East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) in the spring semester of 2022. After discussing the criteria for selecting the home experiments assigned to the students the chosen experiments are presented. Then we described the ways of home experiment teaching and investigated the students’ experimental performance and attitude through the questionnaire survey. The findings and the conclusions were drawn both form the reports submitted by students and from a questionnaire that students answered online after the completion of all experiments. We believe that home experimental teaching is a good educational proposal for the distance teaching challenge of physical experiment courses. At the same time, the home experiments also can enrich the contents of physical experiments demonstration in the classroom or laboratory.
