Students’ Perceptions of Multimedia Usage in Teaching and Learning Quantum Physics: Post-Assessment

Abstract

The research on students’ perceptions after implementing a teaching style is recommended due to its potential to inform reformed education. The present study surveyed 319 students and revealed their perceptions of multimedia usage in teaching and learning quantum physics. Among these students, 156 were surveyed after learning quantum physics with a multimedia-aided method, while 163 were surveyed after learning with a lecture method. The piloting of the test used generated Cronbach alpha of .841 of internal consistency, and it contained quantitative Likert scale items and supporting qualitative items. The data were analyzed descriptively and inductively. Students taught by multimedia perceived quantum physics as easy, while those taught by lecture perceived it as difficult due to its abstractness and mathematics needs. Students preferred computer simulations, animations, and YouTube videos as interactive methods that fit quantum physics lessons. Students testified that a quantum physics course that uses visualization methods in some of its teachings is more interesting than a course taught without them. However, students in both classes concurred that their class was student-centered and full of demonstration. Recommendations related to teaching practices and future research foci were made.

Raising Quality of Physics Education: Contribution of Jbse Over the Past Issues

“…The difference between end-of-chapter problems and inquiry activities used as homework was investigated by Simić et al (2023), who found that simulation-based and video-based homework contributes to the improvement of conceptual understanding in mechanics. The role of multimedia (simulations, animations, videos, models) in teaching university students black body radiation, photoelectric effect and other quantum physics topics is discussed by Nyirahabimana et al (2023). Interesting factors related to the social responsibility of scientists and engineers, as viewed by pre-service physics teachers, are analysed by Zhang (2023).…”
