Digital transformation of teaching. Use of smartphones in physics teaching

Abstract

The existence nowadays of a number of mobile applications or educational Apps for Smartphone have generated new forms of teachings as M-Learning (Mobile Learning). The present study aims to check if the use of smartphones helps the student to better understand the concepts related to the Volt-Amperic characteristic and the Photoelectric Effect, based on the experimental practices used in Physics teaching laboratories. Starting from a learning strategy supported by small and maneuverable mobile devices, considering a test and post-test it was demonstrated the understanding of the students of the practices in question.
