Feedback Form Paper Presentation @2012 Singapore International Science Teachers Conference: Course Title How can we address learning difficulties in Newton’s 1st and 3rd laws through Physics by Inquiry (PbI) using ICT? School Anderson Junior College Presenters Yip Kim Wah, Jeffrey Toh, Aloysius Goh Date: 21 November 2012 The survey response to each question is rated on a 4-point scale, with 1 Strongly Disagree and, 4 Strongly Agree 1 2 3 4 Overall Comments on the Course Strongly Disagree Agree Strongly Disagree Agree 1. Expectations for learning in this course were clearly 11 4 communicated. 2. The materials used were relevant to the objectives. 10 5 3. I can apply the ideas/skills learnt. 1 11 3 4. The activities in the course engaged me in learning. 11 4 5. As a result of this course, I have greater appreciation for this 1 11 3 course 6. The duration was. Just right Too long Too short 14 1 7. Please state 2 key learning points from this course: • Using Java simulations to supplement teaching (3x) • FCI as a tool to measure students’ understanding in Newton’s Laws (2x) • Use of ICT in teaching • Java potentials • Use of ICT in concepts that are difficult to visualize 8. Strengths of this course: • Valid examples • Clear delivery • Clarity, handouts, visuals 9. Suggestions for improvement for this course: • Further in depth study of why students still do not understand the concepts • Where the experimental study results did not show an improvement over the control, but still there was a claim to an improvement in learning of students, could it be possible that a wrong indicator/variable for learning was used?
