  1. 11. Augmented Reality-Enhanced Learning : An evaluation of the possibilities of improving learning of Mechanics through an Augmented Reality application

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Clarissa Hedenqvist; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Students’ struggle to understand certain threshold concepts in mechanics is believed to be reducible by better visualization in the often very abstract field of physics. Technology is used to enhance and facilitate our lives in many ways, not to mention in education. READ MORE

  3. 12. The circle constant remastered for less misconceptions : A textual analysis of the introduction of radians in mathematics education textbooks for the Swedish upper secondary school

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för matematikämnets och naturvetenskapsämnenas didaktik

    Author : Jesper Lindkvist; [2019]
    Keywords : tau; pi; radians; misconceptions; circle constant; pedagogical disaster; mathematics education;

    Abstract : The circle constant, the number pi (), is defined as the ratio between the circumference of a circle to its diameter. When it comes to radians, the angle measurement which relates the circumference of a circle to its radius, one turn equals two pi. This extra constant of two is something everyone has to remember and practice. READ MORE

  4. 13. The Impact of Interactive Touchscreens in Physics Education in Upper Secondary School : A systematic literature review

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Linköpings universitet/Utbildningsvetenskap

    Author : Edvin Jensen; [2018]
    Keywords : Interactive whiteboard IWB ; Tablet PC TPC ; Physics education; Multimodal; High school; Engagement;

    Abstract : Interactive touchscreens such as tablet PCs (TPC) and interactive whiteboards (IWB) are becoming more and more common in classrooms around the world. To date, very little research has been conducted on the impact of the new technology on physics education. READ MORE

  5. 14. Near-local density approximation approach to one-dimensional lattice systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Basheer Joudeh; [2018]
    Keywords : DFT; Hartree; Hartree-Fock; LDA; BALDA; Mean-field; Hubbard; SOFT; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Describing many-body quantum systems has been an analytically and computationally challenging task since the advent of quantum mechanics. However, in the past 50 years as a result of our technological advancement and the emergence of methods such as density-functional theory (DFT), we have taken crucial steps forward regarding our ability to study and understand large quantum systems.

  6. 15. Smartphone physics – a smart approach to practical work in science education? : Experiences from a Swedish upper secondary school

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för matematikämnets och naturvetenskapsämnenas didaktik

    Author : Tomas Svensson; [2018]
    Keywords : Science education; practical work; laboratory work; ICT; didactical design research; teacher research; smartphones; video analysis; programming; Python; MatLab; Laborationer; didaktik; smarta telefoner; videoanalys;

    Abstract : In the form of teacher didactical design research, this work addresses a didactical issue encountered during physics teaching in a Swedish upper secondary school. A need for renewed practical laboratory work related to Newtonian mechanics is met by proposing and designing an activity based on high- speed photography using the nowadays omnipresent smartphone, thus bringing new technology into the classroom.
