Direct linkMartinez, Guadalupe; Naranjo, Francisco L.; Perez, Angel L.; Suero, Maria Isabel; Pardo, Pedro J. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2011
This study compared the educational effects of computer simulations developed in a hyper-realistic virtual environment with the educational effects of either traditional schematic simulations or a traditional optics laboratory. The virtual environment was constructed on the basis of Java applets complemented with a photorealistic visual output.…

Martinez-Borreguero, Guadalupe; Perez-Rodriguez, Angel Luis; Suero-Lopez, Maria Isabel; Pardo-Fernandez, Pedro Jose – International Journal of Science Education, 2013
We study the misconceptions about colour that most people hold, determining the general phenomenological laws that govern them. Concept mapping was used to combat the misconceptions which were found in the application of a test specifically designed to determine these misconceptions, while avoiding the possible misleading inductions that could…

Novell, Montse; Bohigas, Xavier; Jaen, Xavier – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2009
In this paper, the authors present and evaluate a partially web-based Basic Optics course held each year from 2000 to 2003. The course has evolved over the last four years, and we analyse this process based on students' responses to a paper-based questionnaire. Their responses show the difficulty they had in adapting to this new environment, in…
