COMBINATION BETWEEN HANDS-ON EXPERIMENTS AND COMPUTER-AIDED EXPERIMENTS IN TEACHING HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS (GRADE 10)

Abstract

Thanks to the analysis and assessment of the current status of teaching physics, combined with the analysis of advantages and disadvantages of hands-on experiments and computer-aided experiments in terms of teaching theories, the article presents an overview of solutions to combine these two types of experiments. The article also presents some principles and recommendations of the plan combining hands-on experiments and computer-aided experiments corresponding to each stage of learning. On that basis, building a general teaching procedure with 5 basic steps and applying this process to design a specific number of lesson plans.

Educational experiments’ results with both qualitative and quantitative sides are presented in the article have confirmed the feasibility of the combination between hands-on experiments and computer-aided experiments on improving the quality of teaching high school physics.
