Abstract: Computational physics is an undergraduate course in physics that teaches the use of numerical methods to solve typical physical problems. This course is characterized by its interdisciplinary nature, integration of theory and practice, and focus on programming, etc. In the context of implementing the new educational philosophy of "virtue and talent cultivation" and the rapid development of technologies represented by quantum science and artificial intelligence, the limitations of traditional computational physics courses are becoming increasingly apparent. This paper reexamines the teaching reform ideas of computational physics course from the multifaceted perspectives of thinking orientation, frontier orientation, research orientation, and talent orientation. Current course evaluations indicate that the teaching reform model based on the four orientations is conducive to cultivating students transcendent thinking and firstprinciple thinking, innovative awareness, research capabilities, providing a new teaching reform approach and valuable teaching reference for Computational Physics course.

Key words: computational physics, firstprinciple thinking, frontier orientation
