| Summary: | The paper presents the results of the pedagogical research conducted to
examine the effects of multimedia application on teaching physics compared to
the traditional method of teaching. The research was carried out on the
sample of 140 students of the first grade of technical school. The influence
of multimedia application in teaching physics on the quantum, quality and
retention of students’ knowledge was examined by the experimental method.
Knowledge tests were used as research instrument. Tests questions were
divided based on Bloom’s taxonomy into three basic categories: remembering,
understanding and applying. It was determined that multimedia application in
teaching physics had resulted in a significant increase of the quantum and
quality of students’ knowledge in all categories, as well as the retention of
knowledge quality in the category of applying compared to the traditional
method of teaching. Research results have shown the validity of multimedia
application in teaching practice with the aim of enhancing understanding of
fundamental physical concepts and laws, and therefore increasing the
efficiency of teaching physics. |
