Abstract:
Profound revolution in technique and technology require school systems to adapt, and this progress is imminent. EU leaders acknowledged that future competitiveness depended on a renovated education policy including e-learning. Europe-wide ‘eLearning’ initiative promotes new online ways of learning throughout the EU. In recent years, many studies have highlighted an alarming decline in young people’s interest for key science studies. Digital technologies can help improve the quality of knowledge and life for everybody and information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become ‘enabling technologies’ in school too. In this paper, I present a site created for to deepen the concepts learned in the physics lessons. It can be used both in the classroom during teaching/learning process, and at home by the student, because it contains theoretical concepts, experimental videos, and applied problems. In carrying out his we used HTML language, written to Notepad. For realization of site, we used HTML, written in NotePad. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the using utility of alternative methods in didactical process. We present also, the conclusion of a Focus Group research with physics teacher attendees. The hypothesis from which we started in development of this research was to study degree of physics teacher acceptance in the new law of education context. We refer to inter- and transdisciplinary approach to physics, in which an active role has to be played by computer and multimedia resources. This may be a framework for rethinking curriculum, teacher training and student training so to focus on the educational process. The research purpose was to study the implementation of new technologies by teachers in the teaching/ learning physics, in classroom, laboratory and homework too.
