Purpose of this research is to determine the students' point of view about web based intelligent tutoring system's (WBITS) availability, effects on the success and contribution to learning about work, energy and conservation of energy topics. The system will be evaluated on student's angle of view. Intelligence tutoring system that used on the research is used only online by 21 Elementary School Math Teacher candidate for 4 weeks on Physics I course. Public opinion poll that developed by the researchers have used as a data gathering tool. Data gathered in this research has analyzed by descriptive statistical method. Participant students have underlined that web based intelligent tutoring systems are effective on physics courses. Mathematics teacher candidates have expressed their opinion that it is helpful to use the WBITS because it is not depending on time and place, it has capability to serve lots of events and problem solving possibility and it is helping to increase the education performance.

At Atebubu College of Education, the study attempted to determine the impacts of peer tutoring on gender and senior High school background courses of pre-service teachers in physics. To achieve the purpose of the study an action research design was used and a total number of 140 (78 males and 62 females) who are offering primary Education program were purposively selected. The major research tools were accomplishment tests, which were used to collect quantitative data from pre-service teachers. Using the independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA to analyse the quantitative data. It was found that the male students’ performance in Physics (M = 8.81, SD = 0.927) does not significantly differ from that of the female students’ (M = 8.65, SD = 0.925) as a result of the peer tutoring method adopted for the study. The results of the one-way ANOVA show that there are no differences in the mean score of the pre-service teachers’ performance in Physics and their senior High School course ba...

The aim of the study is to draw attention to the importance of using web-based intelligent tutoring systems (WBITS), which have emerged as a result of artificial neural networks and technological developments (communication technology), in the teaching of physics subjects. A WBITS is an intelligent tutoring system that exhibits behavior similar to that of a teacher in the traditional educational process (classroom education), offers a flexible teaching process, defined according to user preferences, and adaptable for a specific purpose. WBITSs make important contributions to distance education and classroom education processes, because they can be used online and offline. The importance of using WBITSs in teaching physics at undergraduate level was subsumed under five headings: i). Developments in technology and artificial neural networks and the interest of young people in technology have made it important to use WBITSs in undergraduate physics education. ii) The use of WBITSs has become important in following scientific developments in traditional (classroom) physics education and eliminating problems related to individual perception capacity and insufficient class hours. iii). Online (remote) access to physics subjects via WBITSs contributes to equality of opportunity in education. iv). More time can be devoted to practice and the discussion of deeper (advanced) subjects in the classroom when basic physics subjects are taught at undergraduate (university) level using WBITSs. v). Limitations in distance physics education can be reduced using WBITSs.

This research work investigated the extent of availability, application and impact of instructional aids on improving academic performance of physics students in Federal Capital Territory (FCT) secondary schools Abuja. The population of the study was limited to secondary schools in three Area councils of the FCT. The sampled schools used for the research had a total 3,150 students with teaching staff strength of 163. The study was carried out among the senior secondary SS2 and SS3 physics students and their teachers. Descriptive survey method was adopted for this study with 60 items on the questionnaire for students and 15 items for teachers. Six research questions were asked and analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. The data gathered were further analyzed and interpreted to arrive at findings which showed that the physics teachers in FCT secondary schools were using instructional aids, there was significant difference in academic performance of students taught with instructional aids; findings equally revealed that there were shortfalls in availability of some materials. Recommendations were suggested that government should formulate policy statement on availability, distribution, selection and maintenance of instructional aids in FCT secondary schools.

This research is expost-facto research which aims to determine the influence of: (1) the teacher professional competence towards physics learning result; (2) interpersonal intelligence towards physics learning result; (3) the teacher professional competence towards learning motivation; (4) interpersonal intelligence towards learning motivation; and (5) learning motivation towards physics learning result. The populations in this study were all students of XI MIA Grade SMA Negeri 1 Pangkajene as many as 173 students. The sample taken by using Slovin technique with 122 students. The process of collecting data using questionnaires and test of physics learning result that have been tested empirically. Data of the research result were analyzed by using analysis method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with technique of Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS). The analysis procedure is performed with descriptive analysis and inferential analysis, factor analysis and verification of struct...

The study investigated the effect of Class-wide Peer Tutoring (CWPT) on students’ performance in physics in Dekina, Nigeria. Two co-education public secondary schools were purposively selected. A total of 64 (male = 31, female = 33) senior school two (SSII) students were randomly selected from the sampled school. A quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study. The instrument used for this research was a 20-multiple-choice projective Motion Test (PMT) developed by the researcher. The treatment in the experimental group was the teaching of Projectile Motion using the CWPT strategy. Mean, standard deviation, and ANCOVA was used to analyze the data collected. The findings revealed that there was a significant difference between the performance of the experimental group and the control group in the favour of the experimental group and no significant difference in the performance of male and female students when both are taught Projectile Motion using CWPT. It is recommended among ...

A research was a pre-experimental design about multiple intelligences in physics instruction. The research was very important because every student had different dominant intelligence which could result the students’ ability distinction to comphrehend the lesson. The objection of this study was to find out the improvement of students’ learning outcomes through the implementation of multiple intelligences theory in physics instruction. The sample consisted of 37 senior high school students who were taken with a simple random sampling. The research used One Group Pre Test-Post Test Design as a research design. Data were analyzed by using Descriptive and Inferential statistics. The research revealed these following conclusion: (1) all students’ learning outcomes have been improved with low category by implementation of multiple intelligences theory in physics instruction, (2) learning outcomes of students who have visual intelligence have been improved with medium category by implementation of multiple intelligences theory in physics instruction,(3) learning outcomes of students who have non-visual intelligences have been improved with low category by implementation of multiple intelligences theory in physics instruction.
