Galvão, Dindara S.; Biazzi, Renata B.; de Morais, Gustavo Chagas; Miranda, Caetano R. – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2022
Arts offer an engaging opportunity to bring about women's underrepresentation issues in physics. In this work, we report the creation process, production, and reception of the short 360° video entitled 'Women in Science.' This movie maps and portrays female researchers' situation in physics at the University of Sao Paulo, a representative subset…

Nyirahabimana, Pascasie; Minani, Evariste; Nduwingoma, Mathias; Kemeza, Imelda – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
The research on students' perceptions after implementing a teaching style is recommended due to its potential to inform reformed education. The present study surveyed 319 students and revealed their perceptions of multimedia usage in teaching and learning quantum physics. Among these students, 156 were surveyed after learning quantum physics with…

VandenPlas, Jessica R.; Herrington, Deborah G.; Shrode, Alec D.; Sweeder, Ryan D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The growing popularity of flipped, blended, and online learning, combined with the need to support a student population with increasingly diverse backgrounds, has led to the development and use of online materials to support students' learning of chemistry outside of a face-to-face classroom. Chemistry simulations provide opportunities to make…

Walsh, Kevin – School Science Review, 2018
Computer simulations have been used very effectively for many years in the teaching of science but the focus has been on cognitive development. This study, however, is an investigation into the possibility that a student's experimental skills in the real-world environment can be judged via the undertaking of a suitably chosen computer simulation…

Kumas, Ahmet – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2022
This study aimed to develop teacher guide material for students who are uninterested in physics lessons in high schools. In this context, activities in which measurements are made with Logger Pro sensors, which are computer-applied with the innovative technology in 10th-grade optics subjects, have been developed. The study was carried out with 134…

Sayer, Ryan; Maries, Alexandru; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
Learning quantum mechanics is challenging, even for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Research-validated interactive tutorials that build on students' prior knowledge can be useful tools to enhance student learning. We have been investigating student difficulties with quantum mechanics pertaining to the double-slit experiment in…

Cândida Sarabando; José P. Cravino; Armando A. Soares – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2016
Although weight and mass are considered fundamental concepts in physics, they are still not well understood by students. A computer simulation was designed to improve students' learning of these concepts and compared it with other teaching strategies. The research was carried out with 142 students (7th grade; 12-13 years old), from three schools.…
