Interactive Multimedia Simulations in Teaching and Learning of Physics

Teaching and learning physics has been perceived by many as a difficult task largely due to the abstractness of most concepts and inadequate resources required to carry out experiments practically. This has occasioned students¿ low motivation towards learning physics that has consequently resulted in poor academic achievement. This is despite the subject being a key factor in the technological development of any society. To reverse this trend, there is a need for physics educators to think of ways for enhancing physics teaching and learning. This book explores and gives researched evidence on how interactive multimedia simulations can ease the instruction process and improve students¿ achievement and motivation to learn physics.
