Abstract
This paper presents the way to improve the effect of dynamics education for mechanics majors by using their mental models. Mental model is the images reminded in the first stage in learning first matter. Students have experienced many phenomena related to dynamics in their everyday life. Under the suitable guidance based on their mental models, they could obtain a right and essential understanding of dynamics. In order to improve their mental models, we used bodily sensation type teaching materials and visualization of phenomena.
