NOVOSTI UPORABE SIMULACIJ PRI POUKU FIZIKE

NOVELTY USE OF SIMULATIONS AT PHYSICS CLASS

Povzetek
V članku bom nakazal nekaj novih možnosti uporabe simulacij pri pouku fizike. Možnosti in prednosti, ki nam jih nudijo simulacijski modeli. V želji po novih simulacijah, ki bi jih uspešno uporabili pri pouku fizike in s tem prispevali k višjemu nivoju znanja in lažjega razumevanja sem na spletni strani Physics Education Technology http://phet.colorado.edu/ poiskal kar nekaj primernih simulacij za pouk fizike. Njihova spletna stran omogoča brezplačen dostop do simulacij, ki so v večini narejene v javi in flashu. Omogočeno je tudi tako imenovano »off« delovanje, kar pomeni, da si lahko prenesemo njihovo instalacijsko datoteko in na ta način vse simulacije uporabljamo tudi na računalnikih, ki še niso povezani v mrežo. Instalacija je enostavna in uporabniku prijazna. Zato se lahko vsi učitelji in učenci poslužujejo obeh načinov uporabe. Opisal sem simulacije, ki sem jih odkril na prej omenjeni strani, kaj vse nam simulacije omogočajo in pri kateri učni temi jih lahko uporabimo pri pouku fizike. Na učiteljih pa je, koliko bomo od danega uporabili in kako uspešno vnesli v vzgojno-izobraževalni proces.

Abstract
The article is pointing out some of the new possibilities of using simulations in teaching Physics that is possibilities and advantages offered by simulation models. In the desire for new simulations that could be successfully used in teaching Physics and could by that contribute to a higher level of knowledge and better understanding I have found quite a few appropriate simulations for teaching Physics on the web site Physics Education Technology http://phet.colorado.edu/. Their site enables a free access to simulations that are mostly made in java and flash. A function called “off” function is also possible which means that we can download their installation equipment once and can also use all simulations on those computers that are not yet linked to the net. Installation is simple and user friendly therefore all teachers and students can use both ways of usage. I have described the simulations that I have found on the mentioned site and what the simulations enable us and also at what stage or topic in teaching Physics they can be used. But how much of the above will be used and how successfully it will be incorporated into the educational process is upon teachers to decide.
