Description
This study investigates the impact of experiment-based learning and mathematical modeling on high school students' thermodynamics understanding. It aims to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications through hands-on experiments and computer-based simulations. A sample of 120 students engaged in activities on heat and temperature concepts. Pre- and post-assessments were conducted to evaluate students' learning outcomes when we compared them to their preliminary information. The results, analyzed through MANOVA to indicate significant improvements in students' conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. These findings underline combining theoretical and practical approaches and using multidimensional methods in enhancing physics education.
