Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, v13 n1 p88-99 Jan 2014
The purpose of this study was to give effective assessments of three major physics animations to upgrade college students' learning achievements and attitudes. All college participants were taken from mechanical and civil engineering departments who joined this physics course during the 2011 academic year. Three prime objectives of physics instruction were: (1) to improve physics animated texts, (2) to promote positive learning achievement, and (3) to evaluate the validity of the revised physics instruction with regard to learning attitudes. Assessments of applied animations in this study contributed much to learning results of students' performance which enhanced students' physics concepts learning and attitudes indicated by different variances of gender, major, dispositions.
