Kosmaca, Jelena; Siiman, Leo A. – Physics Education, 2023
Online video experiments are a promising educational technology tool for science laboratory classes. In order to find optimal instructional designs and scenarios for using online video experiments, we need to study learners' experiences. This work describes implementation of an online interactive video experiment at the undergraduate introductory…

Kaps, Andreas; Stallmach, Frank – Physics Education, 2022
Smartphone-based experimental exercises were incorporated as part of the homework problems in an introductory mechanics course at a university. A quasi-experimental field study with two cohorts design was performed to measure the impact of such exercises on motivation, interest and conceptual understanding. The empirical results on learning…

Hachmi, A.; El Moussaouy, A.; Ouariach, A.; Essaadaoui, R.; El Hadi, M.; Mommadi, O.; Kerkour-El Miad, A. – Physics Education, 2022
In this study that aims to motivate struggling students and helping them to improve their learning achievement, we designed and tested an E7-based approach in a virtual laboratory environment. We rely on cognitive load theory and self-determination theory to enable our approach to meet the cognitive and noncognitive needs of struggling students.…

Chuasontia, Itsarapong; Sirirat, Tanita – Physics Education, 2021
This research aimed to design an instructional module to teach light diffraction by a grating to secondary students applying a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-integrated approach. Based on this approach, instructional management integrated the disciplines of physics and mathematics with engineering design process…

Kaps, A.; Splith, T.; Stallmach, F. – Physics Education, 2021
A concept for undergraduate mechanics courses at universities is introduced where traditional pencil-paper based exercises are partially replaced by experimental exercises, in which smartphones are used as measurement devices. A detailed guidance for practical realization and implementation of these tasks formats into the course is presented.…
