Abstract
The digital transformation of education
presents numerous challenges for middle school physics education, including the
difficulty students face in grasping abstract concepts, traditional teaching
methods failing to engage students, and the lack of financial resources for adopting
technological aids like VR in teaching. The utilization of PhET simulations
emerges as a potent solution, offering several benefits. These simulations
transform abstract physics concepts into tangible experiences, enhancing
students' comprehension and mastery of the subject matter, thereby increasing
teaching effectiveness. Furthermore, the free and low-requirement nature of
PhET simulations addresses the financial constraints faced by underprivileged
regions. Additionally, PhET simulations facilitate personalized teaching
approaches, catering to the diverse learning needs of students. Through
quasi-experimental research, this study demonstrates that physics education
utilizing PhET interactive simulations significantly boosts students'
motivation to learn, as evidenced by improvements in self-efficacy, perceived
value of physics learning, achievement goals, and attitudes towards the use of
PhET simulations in both teaching and learning processes.
