"Enhancing Physics Learning with Interactive Simulations"  

Interactive simulations offer an effective solution to the challenges of teaching complex physics concepts within a limited time. Unlike the traditional "teaching by telling" method, which relies on static notes and lacks engagement, simulations actively involve students in learning. A study conducted with students from the one-year SDS physical sciences program found that using simulations significantly improved the learning experience. Survey results showed a high average mean score of 4.73, indicating strong agreement on their effectiveness.

Students reported that simulations made it easier to visualize and understand abstract physics concepts, increased their focus and interest in learning, and made the overall learning experience more enjoyable. This approach aligns with the TPACK framework and Dual Coding Theory, which emphasize the integration of technology to enhance cognitive engagement and learning outcomes. By using simulations, students not only grasp concepts faster but also enjoy the process, leading to better retention and academic success.
