TEACHING PHYSICS USING MODERN TECHNOLOGIES: COMPUTER-CONTROLLED EXPERIMENTS

EXPERIMENTS IN MODERN PHYSICS Second Edition

A Modern Approach to Teaching Computer Translation

—In the Computer Science curriculum, the compilers course is dying. It has been relegated to a "specialized, optional" role in the ACM 2001 curriculum. However, some fundamental topics are covered only in that course, such as syntax analysis, computer translation with applications outside compilation, and language specification mechanisms such as regular expressions. In this paper, we present t...

Computer-Assisted Teaching and Learning of Physics

This paper presents literature search outcomes concerning computer-assisted teaching and learning of physics and its efficiency, informs about translation and customization of PhET physics applets and introduces new database of links related to physics and physics education which should serve mainly to physics teachers.

Teaching and understanding of quantum interpretations in modern physics courses

Just as expert physicists vary in their personal stances on interpretation in quantum mechanics, instructors vary on whether and how to teach interpretations of quantum phenomena in introductory modern physics courses. In this paper, we document variations in instructional approaches with respect to interpretation in two similar modern physics courses recently taught at the University of Colora...

Remote Experiments - the Latest Technologies in Physics Classes

Within the paper we present real remote experiment “Free fall of a body in a glass tube”. The experiment is based on the movement of a permanent magnet in a glass tube with induction pick up coils for position measurement. The paper also shows the possibilities of implementation of this experiment to direct educational process as a part of new strategy of education – Integrated eLearning (INTe-...
