| Popis: | A comparative experiment was carried out with two teaching forms of an introductory laboratory course for freshmen in physics. The results indicate that an individualized version of the course is more effective than a traditional version. The individualized version turns out to be more efficient in learning time but less efficient in teaching time per student. On the average, the students do not differ in their opinion about the attractiveness of the two versions, but the students of the individualized version think that they have spent their time more usefully than the students of the traditional version. There is some indication that the traditional version reinforces an existing positive attitude towards physics experimentation more than the individualized version does. Observations of students doing experiments in the traditional version of the course suggest that these experiments emphasize concrete aspects of experimentation, which may hamper the development of formal skills necessary for good experimental work. |
