The topic of electromagnetics is rather difficult for students to grasp and for instructors to teach. On the other hand, its importance to technical education can hardly be overstated. This article addresses some of the challenges in the methodology and practice of electromagnetics teaching and learning in general and in particular related to the conceptual understanding of the material and associated concept-based electromagnetic problem-solving skills. It introduces, frames, and discusses some possible uses of conceptual questions. These are multiple-choice questions requiring conceptual reasoning and understanding and very little or no calculations in electromagnetics education. We discuss applications of conceptual questions to modalities of active teaching/learning, such as a flipped classroom, and different types of assessments of student learning and teaching outcomes. Conceptual questions of this scope and intent are new in electromagnetics education and likely in any electrical and computer engineering area.

在电磁学教育中使用概念问题[教育角]


电磁学主题对于学生掌握和教师教授来说都相当困难。另一方面，它对技术教育的重要性怎么强调也不为过。本文解决了电磁学教学方法和实践中的一些挑战，特别是与材料的概念理解和相关的基于概念的电磁问题解决技能相关的挑战。它介绍、框架和​​讨论概念性问题的一些可能的用途。这些是多项选择题，需要概念推理和理解，并且在电磁学教育中很少或根本不需要计算。我们讨论概念问题在主动教学/学习模式中的应用，例如翻转课堂，以及对学生学习和教学成果的不同类型的评估。这种范围和意图的概念问题在电磁学教育中是新的，并且可能在任何电气和计算机工程领域中都是新的。
