A Multipurpose Interactive System for Promoting and Assessing the Learning of Physics
Picciarelli, Vittorio; Selvaggi, Giovanna; Stella, Rosa
Physics Education, v48 n3 p378-389 May 2013
This paper presents an interactive system designed to facilitate the effective management of both knowledge consolidation and (self-)assessment of the progress made in the learning of physics by upper secondary school students. Via a specific multiple-choice test database, the system proposes several learning paths designed and implemented in an e-learning Moodle environment. In addition to describing the features of the system and the different modes which may be chosen by both teachers and students, the paper discusses the quantitative results obtained in a pre-/post-test carried out in several secondary schools in Apulia, Italy.
