Description
The efficacy of computer-based laboratory experiments was explored as a means through which physics practical work can be enhanced for the benefit of students. The study was conducted with physics students at a South African university of technology. Students enrolled for engineering as well as chemistry and non-destructing testing programs were exposed to computer-based laboratory experiments. Exposure to computer-based laboratory experiments strongly suggests improved efficiency in the running of physics laboratories coupled with enhanced students’ conceptual understanding. Implications for teaching and learning are discussed.
