Sortzen PhET Simulazio interaktiboen jarduerak
PhET'en ikuspegia Ikerkuntza gidatuarentzat
The PhET Interactive Simulations Project, http//phet.colorado.edu provides simulations (sims) specifically designed and tested to support student learning. However, what students do with the sims is as important as the simulations themselves. PhET sims may be used in many different types of activities but we believe the sims are most effective with activities which use guided inquiry enabling students to construct their own understanding. In order to productively support student exploration, we suggest:
-
Ikaskuntzaren helburu espezifikoak zehaztu
The learning goals need to be specific and measurable. It is important that the activity goals are well-defined for your particular standards and student population because each sim is designed to support many possible learning goals. -
Orientabide gutxi eman Simulazioen erabilerarako
SIMak diseinatu eta probatu dira ikasleak esploratzeko eta erabiltzeko zentzua bultzatzeko. Errezeta motako jarraibideek pentsamendu aktiboa ezabatu dezakete, jarraibideei jarraituz eta galderei behar bezala erantzutea lortuz. Adibidez, mugimenduari buruzko sim batean, saihestu "grabitatea zero ezarri bezalako argibideak" horren ordez, aurkitu erronka bat, "Aurkitu skater abiaduran zer eragiten duen." -
Elkartu eta eraiki ikasleen aldez aurreko ezagutza eta ulermenaren gainean
Ask questions to elicit student ideas about the topic. For example, to start using a sim about dissolving ask: "What might happen if you add a lot of salt to water?" and "Do you think it matters what solid you add to water?" Guide students to use the simulation, and discussion with their partner, to test those ideas and resolve any inconsistencies. -
Anima itzazu ikasleak zentzumena eta arrazonamendua erabiltzera
The sims are designed to help students develop and assess their understanding and reasoning about science topics. The activity should be geared towards encouraging the student to operate in learning mode not performance mode. Emphasize questions that require making sense of the simulation topic and ideas, using words and diagrams, rather than questions with right/wrong answers. For example, "Design an experiment to see what relationships you can find between how hard you push a box and how fast it will move. Make a data table and a graph to help explain your ideas," and "How might your graph change if the box had a person sitting on it? Explain your reasoning." -
Konektatu eta emaiozu zentzua mundu errealeko esperientziei
Students learn more when they can see that science is relevant to their everyday life. The sims often use images from everyday life, but where possible the activity should explicitly help them relate science to their personal experience. As you write questions, consider their interests, age, gender, and ethnicity and use friendly language. For example, when using a simulation that uses a sandwich metaphor for balancing chemical equations, you might ask, "If you were talking to your friend, Rose, about making sandwiches, what would you tell her to do to figure out how many sandwiches she can make from 10 pieces of bread?" -
Diseina itzazu kolaborazio-jarduerak
SIMek hizkuntza eta esperientzia komun bat eskaintzen diete ikasleei elkarlana eraikitzeko. Ikasleek gehiago ikas ditzakete beren ideiak komunikatzen dituztenean eta arrazoitzen dutenean. Ikasleak binaka edo taldean lan egin dezatela. Animatu ikasleak beren ideiak bikotekidearekin partekatzera, galderei erantzuteko elkarrekin lan eginez. Ikasleak gonbidatu klaseak eztabaidetan zehar ideiak partekatzera. -
Lagundu ikasleak euren ulermena lantzen
Ikasleei beren ulermena egiaztatzeko aukerak eskaintzea. Modu bat da eskatzea iragartzeko zerbait ezagutza berrietan oinarritutako eta gero egiaztatu iragarpena simulazioarekin.
