Abstract

University physics experiments are essential to cultivate students' scientific literacy. Science literacy not only helps to cultivate students' innovative thinking, but also has great significance for the development of national science. University physics experiments can effectively promote the cultivation of students' scientific literacy, but there are also some challenges. For example, the teaching staff is insufficient, and the quality of experiments needs to be improved. To solve this problem, effective measures must be taken, such as strengthening the staffing of teachers and improving the quality of experiments. This paper aims to make some suggestions for improvement by exploring the importance of university physics experiments in cultivating students' scientific literacy, hoping to provide help for the next step of practice.
