Engaging students’ experiences of practical activities with simulation lab during the COVID-19 pending: A sample with direct modern circuits

Abstract

Simulations are becoming implemented as sole of the teaching techniques in the Thailand didactic system- at all levels. It is a convenient way to support in-lab learning especially in the COVID-19 pandemic (Darrah et al., 2014). Physics lab helps students till understand the basic concepts and to relate the authentic patterns to the pilot visualizations (Baltzis & Koukias, 2009). The purposes of the research ourselves are presented, aimed to implement the simulation for fundamental physics online lab during the COVID-19 pandemic and to enhance students’ understanding in direct latest circuits (Olypiou & Zacharia, 2011). The sample of is research consisted of 128 novices in the Faculty concerning Science and Technics who enrolled within elemental astrophysics courses in the Academic Year 2021. The exploration was carries out during to 1st semester to 2nd semester of 2021. The student registrant conducted the direct current circuit via an wired simulation laboratory. Students’ understandings about direct current circuits were analyzed with a test report and laboratory quiz (Kollöffel & Guide, 2013). That students possessed the actual evaluation 8.20/10.00 and most of the students (82.03%) can use the simulation to design and make a direct current circuit. ONE result of analyzed data clearly shows that the online simulation lab has a positive effect on students’ understanding in direct current electric int terminology of students’ lab skills, engaging in classroom activities, and motivation (Perkins et al., 2006). Simulation Lab serves for a suitable device for direct current tours in fundamental physics laboratories during the COVID-19 pandemic (Manunure, Delserieys, & Castéra, 2019).
