Abstrakt: Numerous scientific studies that have been conducted in the field of Physics over the last few decades suggest the necessity of departing from traditional ways of learning and teaching Physics in schools. Therefore, there is an increased resorting to the use of modern media in teaching by which it is possible to visualize the physical phenomena and situations. Researches in the field of teaching have shown that simulations can encourage students to greater involvement in class and more effective acquisition of knowledge and skills through active learning. Creating simulations for teaching Physics can be a very demanding job, and sometimes, depending on the programming tool, you need to have a great knowledge and experience in the field of programming. The subject of this paper is to present a framework for development of physical models which doesn't require prior knowledge in the field of programming, and can quickly and easily be used to create a simulation of certain physical phenomena. To demonstrate the efficiency of the frame, a new physical model is created and it represents the particle oscillation on the spring. In addition, experimental study was conducted in order to evaluate the usefulness and ease of use of this framework. Results of the study are presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
