Entropy Theory in the Context of Physics Education

Entropy, initially a concept in thermodynamics describing the degree of disorder in a system, has been extended to information theory and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The article proposes that the physical classroom teaching system can be viewed as a dissipative structure, promoting the orderly development of students' cognition through openness, non-equilibrium states, and fluctuation mechanisms. Specific strategies include opening up teaching content and methods, creating non-equilibrium state experiments, introducing cognitive fluctuations, and utilizing non-linear effects. These approaches help to stimulate students' desire for knowledge, optimize the teaching process, and achieve efficient physical classroom teaching.
