Antwi, Victor; Addo-Wuver, Fortune; Sakyi-Hagan, Nelly – Science Education International, 2020
Newton's third law of motion is probably one of the easiest and simplest laws in physics for students to recite. However, when they are given questions where they must apply the understanding of the law to solve a problem, it often becomes a challenge. They seem to forget about the fact that action and reaction are opposite and equal. In this…

Farooq Chaudhry; M. Inam ul Haq Choudhry; Afnan Bashir; Kamran ul Haq; Humza Riaz – European Journal of Physics Education, 2021
In this research article we explore the efficacy of a game-based learning approach to improve students understanding of the fundamental concepts of physics such as, heat and temperature. Heat and temperature are complex to learn by traditional learning methods. Students face complexities in learning such concepts of Physics. These complexities…

Dalgarno, Barney; Kennedy, Gregor; Bennett, Sue – Educational Media International, 2014
Discovery-based learning designs incorporating active exploration are common within instructional software. However, researchers have highlighted empirical evidence showing that "pure" discovery learning is of limited value and strategies which reduce complexity and provide guidance to learners are important if potential learning…

Meir, Eli; Perry, Judy; Herron, Jon C.; Kingsolver, Joel – American Biology Teacher, 2007
Evolution is at the center of the biological sciences and is therefore a required topic for virtually every college biology student. Over the past year, the authors have been building a new simulation software package called EvoBeaker to teach college-level evolutionary biology through simulated experiments. They have built both micro and…
