Hung, Ching-Sui; Wu, Hsin-Kai – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
Numerical and symbolic representations are used extensively in physics problems. However, relatively little is understood about how students respond to these two representational formats when they are solving problems. This study examined the effect of the representational format (numeric vs symbolic) on the problem-solving performance,…

Wong, Wing-Kwong; Chao, Tsung-Kai; Chang, Ching-Lung; Chen, Kai-Ping – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2019
There has been an ongoing debate of which physical labs or virtual labs are better. To resolve this issue, a remote lab provides an online lab that can do real experiments to obtain real data from a distant physical lab. Instead of relying on a remote lab, this article suggests that students collect experimental data locally with low-cost data…
