Development of Technical Imagination as the Effect of Computer-Aided Process of Learning Physics

• Authors: Maria Kozielska

Abstracts

EN

The paper presents results of experimental investigations. The studies were undertaken with the aim to ascertain whether computer techniques, used to assist the process of learning physics, can partake in the creation of conditions leading to the development of technical imagination. The ability to make use of technical imagination is important in the process of knowledge transfer to students as well as in the development of logical, creative and abstract thinking. The experiments were carried out during laboratory classes with students from the Technical Physics of Poznan University of Technology employing the method of parallel groups with rotations. Students from the experimental group learnt a physical experiment using appropriate computer programmes, while students from the control group worked without computer support.
