Abstract:
One of the educational soft types which allow the efficient acquirement of the knowledge and skills by pupils is the simulation soft (interactive or computerized model). In some cases, the interactive model can replace the real experiment, especially when it is a dangerous one or if expensive devices are needed for it (the way a nuclear reactor works, the movement of planets or artificial satellites, the way a laser operates). The use of the computer in the educational process leads to the development of certain organization forms of an institution which are impossible to be created by means of traditional methods and instruments. The ability of the computer to analyse, register and find the information again determines the introduction of the situations in which students aquire knowledge and skills according to their own interests and aims. In this article are presented some examples of teaching activities, that can be organized using the interactive model "Motion at constant acceleration" from the "Physics by Pictures" educational soft. The interactive model "Motion at constant acceleration" allows for the organization of some teaching-learning activities in which students solve individual tasks, with immediate results and which are meant to develop each student`s creativity.
