La Nube: La Manera Mas Emocionante De Experimentar Espejos Planos
The essentials
- Innovative approach to teaching physics using a plane mirror placed horizontally at the height of the observer's nose
- Adds a new dimension to viewing images with simple mirrors and helps students gain a deeper, more conceptual understanding of physics
- Emphasis on mental independence, encouraging students to analyze experiments and draw conclusions without relying solely on preconceived notions or external factors
- Using simple elements such as mirrors, students can learn to think independently and discover new results through their own analysis
- Mental independence is crucial for students to develop a deeper understanding of physics concepts
- Educators should focus on helping students cultivate this kind of thinking by providing them with opportunities to experiment and analyze data in creative ways.

Learning-focuses in physics simulation learning situationsAke Ingerman, Cedric Linder, Delia Marshall · 2004 · Physics Education · AI summary available
Abstract
This is a report on a qualitative study of students' learning where a physics computer simulation session is used to supplement lectures on the topic. Drawing on phenomenography as the analytical framework, the students' learning-focuses were analysed. The result is a description of four distinctly different learning-focuses that emerged when the students involved in the study interacted with the computer simulations. These learning-focuses were then analysed in terms of the level of interaction, the nature of physics knowledge and views of learning experienced by the students. These results were then used to identify advantages and disadvantages of learning through interaction with simulati…

Using technology of augmented reality in a mobile-based learning environment of the higher educational institutionYevhenii O. Modlo, Yuliia V. Yechkalo, Serhiy O. Semerikov et al. · 2018 · Naukovi zapysky, Seriia: Problemy metodyky fizyko-matematychnoi i tekhnolohichnoi osvity 11 (2017) 93-100 · AI summary available
Abstract
The definition of the augmented reality concept is based on the analysis of scientific publications. It is noted that online experiments with augmented reality provide students with the opportunity to observe and describe the operation with real systems by changing their parameters, and also partially replace experimental installations with objects of augmented reality. The scheme for realizing the augmented reality is considered. The possibilities of working with augmented reality objects in teaching physics is highlighted. It is indicated that the use of the augmented reality tools allows to increase the realness of the research; provides emotional and cognitive experience, helps attract s…

Improving Students' Understanding of Quantum MeasurementGuangtian Zhu, Chandralekha Singh · 2016 · Physics Education · AI summary available
Abstract
We describe the difficulties advanced undergraduate and graduate students have with quantum measurement. To reduce these difficulties, we have developed research-based learning tools such as the Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT) and peer instruction tools. A preliminary evaluation shows that these learning tools are effective in improving students' understanding of concepts related to quantum measurement.

An extensive Study of Teaching / Learning Quantum Mechanics in CollegeBayram Akarsu · 2010 · Physics Education · Not summarized yet
Abstract
Quantum physics is considered as one of the most remarkable discoveries of contemporary physics grown during previous century and gradually manifested to the scientific world such as inventions of laser, the transistor, the electron microscope, and semiconductor. Teaching of physical science has been stressed in the National Science Education Standards (NSES) from level K-12 as well as many state science standards (Gossard, 2000). The objectives of the current study are to investigate prospective elucidation of the most common learning difficulties, insufficient teaching strategies and other significant instructional or conceptual problems encountered by science and engineering college stude…

Teaching Waves with Google EarthFabrizio Logiurato · 2011 · Phys. Educ. 47 (2012) pp. 73-77 · Not summarized yet
Abstract
Google Earth is a huge source of interesting illustrations of various natural phenomena. It can represent a valuable tool for science education, not only for teaching geography and geology, but also physics. Here we suggest that Google Earth can be used for introducing in an attractive way the physics of waves.

3rd grade English language learners making sense of soundEnrique Suarez, Valerie Otero · 2012 · Physics Education · AI summary available
Abstract
Despite the extensive body of research that supports scientific inquiry and argumentation as cornerstones of physics learning, these strategies continue to be virtually absent in most classrooms, especially those that involve students who are learning English as a second language. This study presents results from an investigation of 3rd grade students' discourse about how length and tension affect the sound produced by a string. These students came from a variety of language backgrounds, and all were learning English as a second language. Our results demonstrate varying levels, and uses, of experiential, imaginative, and mechanistic reasoning strategies. Using specific examples from students…

Cooperative Problem Solving: an experience of high-school teaching updatingCarlo Maria Carbonaro, Alessia Zurru, Viviana Fanti et al. · 2020 · Physics Education · AI summary available
Abstract
We present the results of an experience of teaching updating dispensed to Italian high-school physics teachers to promote the application of the Cooperative Problem Solving method as an useful strategy to improve physics learning at high-school level and to foster the development of problem solving skills. Beside analysing the method and discussing the ways to propose and apply it in a high-school context, the teachers experienced the method acting both as learners and as tutors of student group learners. Students and teachers evaluated as positive the experience, mainly focusing on cooperation within the group by information exchange and the application of a solution scheme. The ex-post ana…

How are these papers found?
We compare the title and abstract of this paper with those of every paper summarized on this site, and with the papers Semantic Scholar recommends, those it cites and those citing it (for a much-cited paper, its most recent citations and, from OpenAlex, the most cited ones). Among the prior work and the follow-ups, the papers that use each other in depth, a method it uses and the much-cited follow-ups come a little higher. The levels (very close, close, related) come from the similarity of the texts, not from a judgment of quality; * marks a paper without an abstract, compared by its title. The sentence under a paper is written by an AI from the two abstracts: check it in the papers. A paper marked not relevant by three readers leaves the list.
For now only among the papers summarized on this site: search again to add the prior work, the follow-ups and Semantic Scholar’s recommendations.
