2. Innovative Laboratory with smartphone and smart sensors

Giacomo Torzo

09/09/2022, 12:30

Modern equipment and technology to improve Physics Teaching and Learning.

Oral presentation

Using sensors connected to a cheap datalogger driven by Apps for Phyphox via Bluetooth, almost any classic on-line experiment may be performed without PC.
Some examples will be illustrated

18. Use of a mobile phone and readily available objects for the study of oscillations and internal gravity waves in a stratified fluid

Oral presentation

We propose a variant of the well-known Cartesian Diver experiment, where the diver floats in a fluid stratified in density obtained from the dissolution over time of a quantity of coarse salt placed at the bottom of the container.
In contrast to the original version of the experiment, the diver can stop in a stable equilibrium position within the fluid, at the height where the surrounding...

4. Using a 3D camera and a local positioning system in physics instruction

Ralf Widenhorn

Modern equipment and technology to improve Physics Teaching and Learning.

Oral presentation

We are exploring the use of two new tools for hands-on physics instruction. Both tools allow us to investigate position-based phenomena more freely than traditional instructional equipment. The Pozyx local positioning system uses ultra-wideband radio frequency for localization. Beyond position measurement, the device provides pressure, acceleration, rotation, and magnetic field data. The Intel...

7. WebEJS: A fully Web-based version of Easy JavaScript Simulations

Prof. Francisco Esquembre (Universidad de Murcia, Spain)

10/09/2022, 12:00

Enhancing the use of multimedia and technology in Physics Teaching and Learning.

Oral presentation

We introduce a new implementation of Easy Javascript Simulations. WebEJS uses a client-server architecture to help create JavaScript simulations on any Internet-enabled device, without any additional software. The client uses Internet standards, so that it runs on computers and tablets, storing files in a user’s cloud account. The WebEJS server provides the power to edit and produce a...

17. Students’ perspective on the Classroom Response Systems in physics classrooms

Dr Masoud Seifikar (Department of Physics, Imperial College London, )

10/09/2022, 12:20

Enhancing the use of multimedia and technology in Physics Teaching and Learning.

Oral presentation

We have used the online feedback app Mentimeter as an example of a Classroom Response System in different teaching environments and have investigated student opinions on the effectiveness of using them in physics teaching environments. We find that, generally, students find Mentimeter useful in creating an active learning environment, generating interest, involvement in teaching, and providing...

15. Visualization and Metacognitive Scaffolding in Learning from Animations about the Anomaly of Water

Joerg Zumbach (University of Salzburg)

10/09/2022, 13:30

Enhancing the use of multimedia and technology in Physics Teaching and Learning.

Oral presentation

In a series of experiments, we examined the influence of metacognitive scaffolding and supplantation on students’ learning performance during self-regulated learning with animations about the anomaly of water. In two successive experiments, we compared a static and dynamic visualization format with respect to learning success. We provided metacognitive scaffolding by means of cognitive and...

14. Implementing virtual instruments to increase knowledge comprehension and engagement rate in distance Physics teaching

Marina Babayeva

10/09/2022, 13:50

Challenges and opportunities of use of multimedia including distance learning.

Oral presentation

Distance learning is becoming more and more popular nowadays due to increased mobility, widespread distance work, and the recent pandemic situation. Since it is a relatively new trend, teachers must actively adapt the methods and curriculum in order to suit modern needs. Like in any novel industry, there are several challenges to overcome such as a higher rate of destruction, comparatively...
