Development, Implementation and Evaluation of Interactive Simulation Software for Physics Education
Summary:
This thesis is about the development and evaluation of an educational interactive software that presents non-observable physical phenomena (in a microscopic level). The software aimed to act as a useful educational tool about teaching those phenomena. The subject ot those phenomena are: the structure of matter, atomic models, the structure of atoms as well as molecules, states of matter (Solid - Liquid - Gas), evaporation, correlation between temperature and kinetic energy of particles, microscopic interpretation of gas pressure, water molecule structure in its three states and interpretation of the phenomenon of expansion, evaporation and factors affecting it, the propagation of sound waves, movements of free electrons in the presence (or not) of potential difference, individual stimulation, light production and mixing of two liquids. The presentation of the software is accompanied by the results of its use in the classroom, where it is reflected that it has helped to cope with cognitive difficulties that are widely reported in the bibliography. Prior the developing of software it was conducted a research aimed at selecting the "appropriate" atomic model that would later be used to represent efficiently the individual phenomena. The results of the two quantitative surveys (including observation data), as well as the way the educational software functions are presented in this thesis
