REMOTE TEACHING LABORATORIES IN PHYSICS LESSONS - ATTITUDES OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO THE REMOTELY CONTROLLED EXPERIMENTS
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2011, Vol 37, Issue 1
Abstract
This article describes five remotely controlled experiments, which were created at the Department of Experimental Physics in Olomouc (Volt-ampere characteristics of six different light sources, Determination of gravity from the period of oscillation of the mathematical pendulum, Study of water flow in the system of closed tubes, Weather station at Palacky University in Olomouc and Monitoring of radioactive background in Olomouc). These experiments are accessible from the web address http://ictphysics.upol.cz/remotelab. The paper describes a new approach to creating remotely controlled experiments using Web Services from the company National Instrumnets. The paper also deals with questionnaire survey, which examined attitudes of students and teachers to the remotely controlled experiments. This questionnaire survey was attended by 74 students of Physics from Faculty of Science in Olomouc and 48 teachers of Physics from secondary schools. This paper outlines our current research and reflection of remotely controlled experiments and it describes the educational point of view of the remotely controlled system.
