Can Students Learn Through Simulations?: A Look at Using Technology for Discovery Learning of Physics
Abstract
This paper discussed the use of computer simulations in the high school physics class and
their effectiveness at helping to educate students. The results of this study indicate that
computer simulations are very effective in some cases and extremely limited in many
others. This seems to indicate that simulations should be used in conjunction with
physical experiments to show students information that would not be physically visible.
