Teaching 10th Graders Physics in a Classroom Versus a Laboratory: A Comparison (95595)
Session: On Demand
Room: Virtual Video Presentation
Presentation Type:Virtual Presentation
Although we are 25 years into the 21st century, most high school science classes are given in standard classrooms, when rows of tables are facing a whiteboard and only a few sessions take place at the laboratory for specific demonstrations, a traditional method that can use only a few of the modern teaching schemes. In this work the author compares two 10th grade classes studying the same material in physics (kinematics on a straight line) in a small high school, where each class contains approximately 30 pupils. One class is studying in their classroom as described above, two pupils behind each desk, and the other class is taking all of their physics classes in the laboratory, where they sit in groups of six and can experience physics at any given moment. The author, teaching these two groups, compares the two groups in terms of ability to study new material, teaching capacity in a given time slot, noise levels in class, grades and overall satisfaction expressed by the pupils. The comparison shows that there're advantages and disadvantages to both teaching techniques, and that teaching in a laboratory must be preplanned in order to obtain the desirable learning outputs.
