物理教育中的一个主要研究领域是研究旨在帮助学生进行替代概念转换的各种类型的教学干预措施的效果。计算机模拟在物理教学中具有特殊的意义，因为它们可以支持涉及物理概念和过程的强大建模环境。在这项研究中，两组（控制组和实验组）的15-16岁的学生进行了研究，以确定计算机模拟的作用，在发展的功能理解的概念，速度和加速度的弹丸运动，两组接受传统的课堂教学对这些主题：实验组也使用计算机模拟。这里提出的结果表明，学生与模拟工作表现出显着更高的分数在研究任务。我们的研究结果强烈支持，计算机模拟可以作为一种替代的教学工具，以帮助学生面对他们的认知限制和发展物理的功能性理解，（C）2001爱思唯尔科学有限公司，版权所有。
A major research domain in physics education is focused on the study of the effects of various types of teaching interventions aimed to help students alternative conceptions transformation, Computer simulations are applications of special interest in physics teaching because they can support powerful modeling environments involving physics concepts and processes. In this study two groups (control and experimental) of 15-16 years old students were studied to determine the role of computer simulations in the development of functional understanding of the concepts of velocity and acceleration in projectile motions, Both groups received traditional classroom instruction on these topics: the experimental group used computer simulations also. The results presented here show that students working with simulations exhibited significantly higher scores in the research tasks. Our findings strongly support that computer simulations may be used as an alternative instructional tool, in order to help students confront their cognitive constraints and develop functional understanding of physics, (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd, All rights reserved.
