Abstract: The Coriolis force, as a typical inertial force in a rotating reference frame, plays a crucial role in the mechanics curriculum for university physics majors, where understanding its physical essence and conducting quantitative analysis of related phenomena are essential components. This paper, grounded in constructivist learning theory, systematically proposes a trinitarian teaching reconstruction framework of “problem-driven methodology, physical modeling, and numerical simulation” to overcome the pedagogical challenges in traditional Coriolis force teaching, such as excessive reliance on mathematical derivations, unclear physical picture, and students ability to calculate without conceptual understanding. Through carefully designing a step-by-step questioning framework, this teaching plan firstly guide students to complete the cognitive process from phenomen observation to theoretical construction by building physical models, thus achieve visualization of Coriolis force effects by incorporating Matlab based numerical simulations, which helps students to overcome the cognitive barriers between theoretical derivation and physical intuition.
