5 teachers / 3 inquiries
• Valerie Vandenberk➢ RQ: How can the use of smartphone and specific apps make the
laboratory work more interesting for the students ?
• Carine Cools➢ RQ: When I give my students suggestion for (better) studying
physics, are these suggestion always effective?
• Marcel Dirkx➢ RQ: First ‘Experiment‘ or first ‘Theory’ in studying physical
phenomena?

Valerie Vandenberk
“How can the use of smartphone and specific apps make the laboratory
work more interesting for the students ?”
Positive:
❖ More intrinsic motivation, less external motivation;
❖ Students are more motivated.
Negative
❖ More distraction( facebook etc.);

Surprise
❖ No increase of study results;
❖ No increase of interest in the physics subjects.

The teacher organised a classical reading of an article abouth study
methods.

Conclusion
❖ Study tips from the teacher have less influence on the study
methods.
❖ A reflection on the study method (in combination with the article)
gave the student more insight.
❖ Study tips at the request of the student improve the study results.

First Conclusion➢ Students prefer to do the experiment before the theory.
Surprise➢ The learning discussion is a crucial link between the experiment
and the theory.

The knowledge of the pendulum was tested
during the exams with the same questions.
➢ 7 out of 8 student gave the exact answer on
the two questions .
➢ 6 out of 8 students got the right answer on an
exercise on the pendulum (formula)

Conclusion
The sequence [experiment] > [learning discussion] > [theory] gives
significantly better results in understanding physics phenomena and
using these insights into applications.
