Using PhET Simulations to Improve Scientific Skills and Attitudes of Community College Students

Abstract: In this study, conceptual and algebra-based physics students were engaged in scientific inquiry using Physics Education Technology (PhET) interactive simulations via semester-long group projects. The instructor and students used the Scientific Abilities Assessment Rubrics (SAAR) to evaluate project presentations and papers (formative assessment). The overall research project was evaluated using Lab Skills Self-Assessment (LSSA) survey (pre and post) and the post reflection survey. The Science Process Skills In… Show more

“…Simulations are created in such a way that students can investigate physical laws such as Newton's second law or apply principles such as energy conservation to create the required tools (Perkins, 2020). The results of the research of Taibu et al (2021) also concluded that the use of PhET simulations allows students to learn the necessary scientific abilities and can establish favorable attitudes toward physics. Another researcher, Putranta et al ( 2019), discovered a significant boost in students' physics academic achievement after using the PhET simulation.…”

“…Therefore, physics lessons prepared for the Algodoo application can clear students' misconceptions about physics subjects and embody abstract subjects. For instance, the Algodoo application can be used to eliminate misconceptions in the teaching of force and motion (Özer & Canbazoğlu Bilici, 2021;Akdağ & Güneş, 2018) and to embody abstract topics in physics experiments (Kirmizigül, 2021;Taibu, Mataka & Shekoyan, 2021;Turan-Güntepe & Dönmez-Usta, 2022).…”
