Investigating the learning of RLC circuits with The aid of computer-based activities
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
The purpose of this study was to get some insight about using computational simulations and modeling activities
to promote a better students’ conceptual understanding of RLC circuits. The theoretical framework adopted ...
Do all bodies fall equally? On the importance of stating the area of validity in physics education
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
Galileo's law of free fall, a corner stone of modern science, is usually accepted without any limits except the
condition of vacuum. The present study, following the paradigm of educational reconstruction (Duit et al. ...
Effects of physical and virtual Experimentation on students conceptual Understanding in heat and temperature
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of Physical Manipulatives (PM), Virtual Manipulatives (VM),
and two sequential combinations of PM and VM, on pre-service students’ understanding of scientific concepts ...
