THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD IN TEACHING AND LEARNING PHYSICS

摘要

The Physics teaching process is often based on providing just the information, without telling the student how to put things in practice. The students take the information, memorize and reproduce it, in order to pass exams, without being able to apply the theory in real life situations. Under these circumstances the student is seen only as a consumer of information. New technologies such as interactive whiteboard help the teacher to change student perceptions of learning physics, making the teaching and learning process interactive and focusing on the student. The interactive whiteboard attracts the student in an interactive learning process in which he is able to build his own knowledge. The aim of this paper is to outline the role of the interactive whiteboard in changing the student's attitude towards the physics lessons.
