“…Therefore, teaching and learning which aided by such a simulation approach may significantly help to concretize the abstract and complex phenomena in science education. Thus simulation assists students to learn more easily and more effectively [12]. The most interesting finding from this simulation is the speed of the particle entering the detector is not a single speed but can be more than one speed (has an interval dv).…”

Teaching and learning which mainly based on conventional media offers limited resources in exploring a comprehensive concept of statistical physics phenomena. As a consequence, it needs to incorporate a computer simulation that has superiority in visualizing a wide range of complicated and abstract physics concepts. This study aims to develop a computer simulation of gas speed measurement as a learning medium on the subject of Maxwell distribution. Measurement of very small and un-naked eye gas particles requires special techniques and tools that involve a complicated process of selecting particles and measuring their speed. For learning purposes, this measurement process needs to be done with computer simulation. This research uses the ADDIE model which includes analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The results of the simulation show conformity with Maxwell's speed distribution graph which was obtained theoretically and need to apply to enhance the quality of teaching of this subject.

“…For the demonstration, a computer simulation was used to demonstrate drive cycle of a typical electric drive vehicle, bringing the road to the test laboratory. Techniques such as computer simulations, demonstrations and other visualization tools can play an important role in education on electricity-related topics because they contribute to student understanding by reinforcing abstract topics with solid mental images (Akpınar 2014). The discussion focused on main components of lithium-ion batteries, driving cycles, regenerative breaking and electric vehicle efficiency.…”

Despite attempts to generate interest in science and technology careers, US students continue to show reduced interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors at the collegiate level. If girls are not engaged in STEM learning by the middle school level, studies show that they are even less likely to choose a science-or engineering-related major. This article presents results from a workshop for 7th and 8th grade girls designed to promote knowledge building in the area of sustainability and alternative energy use in transportation and to stimulate greater interest in STEM subjects. The workshop based on research conducted at University X focused on basic concepts of electric vehicles and electric vehicles' batteries. Tests were conducted to evaluate the students' knowledge and perceptions of electric vehicles and to determine the impact of the workshop. Early exposure to meaningful engineering experiences for these young girls may boost interest and the eventual pursuit of engineering and technology education paths.

Williamson and Abraham (1995) reported in their study that computer animation had a more positive effect on students' conceptual understanding than traditional instruction.…”

“…As Akpınar (2014) declared, when the POE and other technology-enhanced learning environments are used together, learning is facilitated; learning of abstract concepts is enhanced and it results in permanent knowledge, so problem solving tasks can build knowledge of a concept while minimizing the risk of misunderstanding. The studies on Physlet-based learning material, including animations, graphics and videos, simulations, demonstrations and models, indicate that if such materials are properly designed, they help students visualize phenomena therefore they contribute to understanding by augmenting abstract concepts with concrete mental images.…”

The Force Concept Inventory (FCI) test has been widely used to investigate students' concept and understanding of introductory mechanics. It can be used to monitor the preconceptions, misconceptions and development of the students' conceptual understanding on mechanics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the entering engineering students' prior knowledge in key concepts of mechanics in introductory physics using Concept Inventory Test at Technical University. Our findings have revealed absence of basic knowledge in the field of physics. Due to the fact that the testing revealed that students have problems with reading comprehension, graph interpretation, mathematical relationship, it is necessary for the future to pay attention not only to physics as a subject but also to skills related to maths and to overall engineering studiesto STEM education. Video analysis and simulations (VAS method) of problem tasks using interactive programme Tracker is one of the methods that considerably helps to form conceptual thinking and to develop manual skills and intellectual capabilities of students and finally at the same time eliminates misconceptions. Using videos and other multimedia aids affects in a positive manner the level of the students' knowledge and understanding of physical phenomena.
