Abstract:
The information and technologies society needs important changes in education. In schools, information technology and communication can be more than just a means of education; can become a concept to make radical changes in education. Its potential to improve the quality and standards of performance of participants in the educational process is significant. The computer can become a tool for all those who wish to find in him a friend and the mysteries will turn into knowledge. This tool is equally useful to student and teacher. Computer used in class aims to develop skills related to communication, procurement, presentation and transmission of information in forms as varied. The Yenka software allows simulation of experiments that cannot be completed in class, completion of laboratory experiments, to realize animated graphics, contributing in this way to develop skills to organize specific information and use it to produce new knowledge. In this paper, I presented some modelling experiments on Yenka software. I demonstrated the utility of using virtual experiments, because Physics is par excellence an experimental object, but many of the phenomena are too fast to be studied and understood fully, or it cannot be done in a laboratory school. Via computer it can be simulated and presented these phenomena so that they can be pursued by each student. On the other hand it is known that the possibility of understanding of material is different from one individual to another, not all students can understand it. The computer gives everyone the opportunity to adjust the learning of new knowledge in their own pace and the quality of learning and deep understanding of the phenomena will increase incontestably. Computer simulation of physics experiments is well come as a complement to classical experiments on laboratory, together leading to a deep learning, for the duration.
