  1. Using technology to make physics visible Masters thesis at the IT-university of Gothenburg Jonas Engkvist

  2. How is physics usually taught? • Classroom education • Laborations

  3. Classroom education vs Labs • Authenticity? • Activity? • Competence? • Economics?

  4. Classroom education • Poor authenticity • Poor activity • Easy to focus on the competence one wish for • Relatively cheap

  5. Labs • High authenticity • High activity • No guarantee for the intended competence • Requires a lot of expensive guidance and equipment

  6. Classrom demonstrations? • High authenticity • High activity • Focus on intended competence • Relatively cheap, only requires one set of lab equipment

  7. The study • Videotaped Classroom demonstrations of mechanics for university engineer students • Etnomethodologically inspired analysis (Livingston, Garfinkel, Goodwin, MacBeth, Lynch) • Focus on how the teacher makes physics as a practical work visible to the students, using several technologies

  8. The material
