“…Table 1 shows the main results of students' responses. The current is the same as before (14) -Resistance is zero so current is too (7) -Wire has no electric devices connected (5) -Current through the wire is zero (2) 22 students (37%) responded correctly, i.e., current is zero and students gave different reasoning for this response. On the other hand, 23 students (39%) believed that the current is less because it is divided between the bulb and the wire, which is partially correct; however, since the wire was ideal, all the current goes through it.…”

Abstract. Several educational strategies and tools have been designed to improve physics education for undergraduate students. Physics Education Technology (PhET) is a recent technology based on interactive simulations that provides the possibility to experiment real world phenomena without the need for laboratory equipment. Similarly, Tutorials for Introductory Physics have been proved to be one of the best research-based strategies to promote conceptual understanding. We worked in a Chilean private university with engineering students who were not familiar with PhET simulations but somewhat with Tutorials. We examined students' conceptual learning of electric circuit concepts after they worked on two Tutorials with a PhET simulation instead of real equipment. We report results of their learning from pre/post-tests and an openended test. We note the benefits of using technology combined with research-based strategies in positively influencing students learning.

Abstract-This study systematically reviews, classifies and synthesizes the research related to Emerging Technologies (ETs) in the field of formal education between 2006 and 2016, aiming to identify areas of uncertainty for future research. In addition, this study is a tool to guide teachers in their decision making when incorporating technologies in the classroom. The research approach was mixed and it analyzed 288 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Results show that all the studies aimed to improve and to transform the different educational processes through the incorporation of ETs. The most used methodology was qualitative research; the survey was the most widely used instrument; the most affected population was the students in the context of higher education; the competences to improve was critical thinking, followed by problem solving, collaborative work, creative thinking, and decision-making. Emerging Technologies (ETs) are contextual, adaptable, evolving, ubiquitous, disruptive, innovative, complementary and generate a degree of uncertainty, they can be complex, accessible, functional, easy to use, interactive and it found that Web 2.0 technologies are the most used in the studies.

“…Efforts in this field vary from the awakening of pupils' interest, to their motivation, to the study of attitudes and finally to the study of behavioral intention. Krusberg (2007), explored three emerging technologies in physics education. The technologies-Physlet Physics, the Andes Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), and Microcomputer-Based Laboratory (MBL) Tools-assessed particularly in terms of their potential at promoting conceptual change, developing expert-like problem-solving skills, and achieving the goals of the traditional physics laboratory.…”

This study has examined the characteristics of physics teachers, their professional competences, supplies of equipments and technologies, appropriate textbooks and motivational factors in students' learning of physics from female physics teacher's points of view. The population included all female physics teachers in Isfahan city and a total of 88 teachers were selected as sample of study. The study was a descriptive survey that used researcher made questionnaire consists of 46 items. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for this scale was set to be .95. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, t-tests and ANOVA test were used. The results showed that in the present state, physics teachers have a low level of scientific knowledge. In terms of professional skills, their abilities were average and educational equipments and technologies were available at low level. Moreover the satisfaction of female physics teachers of books and educational texts was moderate. Meanwhile, the motivation for learning the lessons of physics was moderate. Also the results in desired state showed that all components of study could be effective in learning physics. Accordingly, it is recommended to enhance learning and teaching physics education, school should be equipped to supplies and technologies for teaching physics, including virtual laboratory.
