Abstract:
The specific topic of the paper is chosen to be Uniformly accelerated straight line motion since this topic is a part of the curriculum in physics and it is a fundamental topic for teachers and for students. A simple experiment that is using some notions of theory and materials, produces important outputs(classic graph, mathematics, computer work-Excel,Applets Java. All are comprised in a interdisciplinary project, where the students try to eliminate the boundaries inside the subject: uniformly accelerated straight line motion. The interdisciplinary project emphasizes the complex character of physics. This project is realized with the “Concept Map” educational tool. Specific maps, Mandala concept map, or Refined concept map, are applied to present the outputs, close by modern soft, as SOFTWERE MINDJET2012 – Mind Manager Proffesional. The efficiency (output) of this project shows that informatics (considering Excel, Applets Java, modern software MINDJET2012l, CMapTools, Microsoft Word 2007-Smart Art) has is on the first place in physics, as well as in students`life. The paper tries to demonstrate that the conceptual maps are a strong basis for the modern methods in physics, such as Constructivist Teaching, Comprehensive Learning, Conceptual Pedagogy, Computer Work and Internet. These methods implement the educational objectives in learning for the acquisition of performance. The priority of physics is to prepare students for their future professions in order apply new forms of teaching combining theoretical knowledge and practical experience, or independent work and supervising.
