Abstract:
Due to the main role of the experimental method in the continuous progress of the physical sciences, it is obvious that also the teaching- learning process in physics must be based on the experimental practice. However, the existing laboratories in schools are not suitable equipped to familiarize the students with the most modern experimental techniques, which require in our days really expensive devices and facilities. On the other hand, the significant development of the information technology, within the new approaches in the field of software and hardware systems, is going to change the traditional way to develop the practical skills of the students. Hence, the experimental achievements obtained in conventional real laboratories from high schools and universities may be presently completed with a new generation of educational systems, based on the concept of the so called Remote Laboratory. Accordingly, this work has a double aim: (i) to present, on a hand, some conceptual and methodological approaches in Remote Laboratory and (ii) to exemplify, on the other hand, a teaching alternative based on the application of the Remote Laboratory in case of the experimental recording of the magnetization reversal via a performing High Magnetic Field Measurement System located in a specialized laboratory. The importance of Remote Laboratory for transmitting complex information to high school students and to familiarize them with the most modern experimental techniques is also mentioned. The final purpose of the presentation is the fully analyze an effective method in transmitting to the high school students some knowledge on specific phenomena of current technological impact and also to increase their interest in studying physics.
