Abstract

With the advancement of education informatization, the difficulty in understanding abstract concepts (such as encounter and pursuit problems) in physics teaching urgently needs to be addressed. This study focuses on the auxiliary effects of MATLAB numerical simulation technology in secondary school physics teaching. Taking encounter and pursuit problems as examples, we constructed dynamic simulation models and utilized graphical user interfaces (GUI) to visually demonstrate the relationships between objects' motion states (displacement, velocity) and time. Through comparative analysis and discussion, it was found that MATLAB-assisted teaching demonstrates significant advantages in cultivating students' abilities to understand abstract concepts and analyze complex problems, while effectively helping students establish intuitive motion dynamics and reduce comprehension difficulty. Additionally, due to variations in students' individual abilities and autonomous learning initiative, MATLAB-assisted teaching exhibits distinct impacts on students with different learning capacities, resulting in pronounced polarization in learning outcomes.
