Graphs and Dynamic Modeling as a Motivating Tool in Teaching Physics

摘要

The paper is focused on the use of dynamic models describing well known situation presented on the graph. Our study is based on observation of students during the teaching physics at secondary schools. Our findings show that this combined approach of teaching awake a deeper interest. This approach can substitute the lack of mathematical apparatus needed to solve the studied problems. Moreover, the student's independent analytical and logical thinking is strengthened especially by detection of physical fundaments of processes and phenomena that students know from everyday life.
