Optimizing knowledge transfer in Physics education by fitting supplemental materials to individual learners

摘要

It can hardly be predicted how a student's complex knowledge is being evolved during a course of Physics. Probably that's why such a lecture is usually divided into several parts, containing multiple tests and checkpoints. The effectiveness of the learning process might be evaluated by tests, experiments and problems. However, even if all of these distinct evaluation types seem to reflect a successful knowledge transfer, there could still remain gaps in the understanding process of students. This paper introduces a model based approach of knowledge transfer by means of supporting explanation materials, like charts, videos and animations. A few examples of Physics phenomena in Mechanics describe how the application of multimedia tools can assist in making understood the sense of physics phenomena easier. It is found out that visualization of phenomena in the nature makes the understanding easier in addition to definition, experiments and problems.
