Abstract:
The main goal of the author is to describe an unconventional teaching-assessing way, an alternative for the classical teaching-assessing process: conferring new meanings to the traditional assessment as an add-on to the classical assessing methods. This paper stands up as an argument for a broadening of the assessment methods used in the science teaching process. I make my point by appealing to a number of specific educational computer games. The aim of these educational computer games is to support student’s hands-on learning of science and inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists, by delivering hands-on activity resources to educators. Learning more about Modern Physics could make a fun way to spend some great and informative time!
