Abstract:
Ohm’s Law is an important law not only for Physics, but also for Anatomy, thus it is a topic very often addressed during Physics lessons. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of combining real experiment with the computer-aided experiments. It was demonstrated that the use of modern technology in lessons improves the quality of teaching itself. As a consequence, computers and interactive whiteboards are tools that should be present in all Physics classes. Using an interactive experiment helps students to understand the connection between current and voltage and improves the way students make a real experiment. During a computer-assisted experiment, students have the possibility to focus better on the studied phenomenon, to follow the obtained graphs and to compare them with those made after a real experiment. The study aims to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each type of experiment, and also the way that students engage in the act of learning. It also aims to emphasis that the use of modern teaching in addressing this issue contributes to student motivation and turn Physics lessons into interactive activities.
