Abstract:
In the modern society the teachers have a new role: promoting mainly student-centered teaching/learning methods. The School Projects method is one such recently adopted educational strategy in teaching-learning-assessing process, based on the students’ needs and interests. In this paper I will present the advantages of using this method, which had a special impact upon the students of the Tudor Vianu National High School of Computer Science. The usage of virtual laboratories facilitates a deeper understanding of a huge range of physics topics. I will emphasize the manner in which this kind of new usage of the experiments can be implemented in the science curriculum and the ways they can improve it. I will analyze the manner in which this unconventional teaching way can provide outstanding results in the teaching process.
