In line with current trends about developing teaching learning sequences in science education we have designed an innovative inquiry oriented module aiming at providing secondary education students with a comprehensive treatment ...

This study refers to secondary students working in a simulated virtual open laboratory environment using “Thermolab”, following an innovative course on thermal phenomena, being engaged in a variety of activities, ranging ...

In this work we present an open learning environment, suitable for teaching Heat and Thermodynamics. The software consists of two independent visual laboratories (one for Heat and the other for Thermodynamics) and a series ...

Content analysis of textbooks and of research - based innovative approaches suggests that there is not a widely accepted negotiation of the order in which factors that are expressed in relation Q = m  c   should be ...

This work refers to aspects of the development and implementation of a sequence of ICT based laboratories and their integration in high school physics in the area of heat. The objective of extensive use of ICT based tools ...

The international research and experience have proved that the approach of studying subjects with the help of computer and multimedia applications can exceed, to one degree, technical and instructive restrictions of ...

In modern science teaching the role of ICT in supporting learning cannot be underestimated, let alone be ignored. Especially for the Predict-Observe-Explain strategy (POE), multimedia-supported POE tasks may be used as a ...

The Lab-based course, that is described in the present work, is offered to first year university students of Physics, mainly aiming to introduce students to the basic concepts and familiarize them with the use of Computers ...

In this paper we describe a small-scale exploratory study on how in-service science teachers of Greek senior high schools can take advantage of facilities included in a simulated visual Lab to create innovative open ...
