One of the ways of promoting students’ interest in physics is the performance of experiments. This paper is concerned to experiments which could be used in physics classes taught at basic education. A questionnaire was created to determine to what extent basic school physics teachers are willing to incorporate experiments into their teaching method repertoire. The questionnaire underwent a pilo...

Much research in education has been done on the study of different language teaching methods. However, there has been little investigation using computational analysis to compare such methods in terms of readability or complexity progression. In this paper, we make use of existing readability scoring techniques and our own classifiers to analyze the textbooks used in two very different teaching...
