Simulation and modeling methodology for Physics Teachers

Abstract

Scientific practice involves the application of scientific models, designed to engage students in making and using models and simulations. Scientific models/si of structured knowledge. They are used to organize factual information into coherent wholes, often by the coordinated use of general laws or principles. Therefore, the structure of scientific knowledge can be made organizing course content around a small number of basic models for simulation purposes. The ability to make and use models for simulation depends on the representational tools. Students learn transferable modeling skills by applying given models to a variety of situations to describe, explain, or predict physical events or to design experiments. Theoretical underpinnings methodology of physics teaching is designed especially for physics teachers. Incorporation of the courses into the university physics curriculum needs a consolidated effort from all the stake holders. The simulation and Modeling procedures have evolved over more than a decade from educational research and the experience of exceptional physics teachers
