In this work, an alternative Experimental Didactic Kit for teaching resistors, capacitors and "RC" timing circuits was developed, using the Arduino platform technology, which is composed of a microcontroller and peripherals, due to the easy access to available teaching materials, enabling the reproduction of the prototype in the future…

The importance of this research is the use of WhatsApp in physics instruction beyond the classroom. This study evaluated the content of conversations in a in a class-wide WhatsApp group of high-school physics students (e.g., the goals of the conversations, topics of conversation, the hours at which conversations were conducted, and who…

Physics educators keep adding many skill developments to science and engineering students during their education as individuals and groups including critical thinking, conceptual understanding, problem-solving, mathematical implementation, computational implementation, etc. Here, we are discussing how to reach and analyse students' outcomes within…

Probing university students' understanding of direct-current (DC) resistive circuits is still a field of active physics education research. We report here on a study we conducted of this understanding, where the cohort consisted of students in a large-enrollment first-year physics module. This is a non-calculus based physics module for students in…
