Active learning methods for the formation of learners' interest in physics

Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited

Description

The article selects six active methods for teaching physics according to their influence on the development of learners' thinking: heuristic conversation, creation of problematic situations, home experiments, excursions, solving crosswords, and conducting physics dictations. For example, creation of problematic situations introduces learners to activity during which they are faced with facts that contradict their experience, and home experiments let learners reproduce fundamental physics experiments so that they will feel themselves "discoverers". These methods form the second component of the developed technique.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Home experiments require safety rules, simple equipment, curiosity, accessibility, and integration in the curriculum

Constraints

Target Learners

  • secondary school learners aged 15ñ17 studying physics

Learning Goals

  • development of learners' logical and creative thinking and formation of interest in physics
