Development of LECRM (learning environment of circular and rotational movement)‎ in physics by using object behavioral modeling

Abstract EN

The research aims to develop an interactive environment for selective topics in physics.

This subject is one of the subjects which taken in sixth class of Iraqi secondary schools.

Topics focuses on the Circular and Rotational movement.

Most challenges which facing students' lies in remembering the convenient laws (rules) and how to minimize the difficulties of applying them step by step.

We develop LECRM (Learning Environment of Circular and Rotational Movement), which consists of authoring tool for teachers and interactive navigation tools for students.

In the design stages of the LECRM development, we use UML language which supports the modern upcoming design principles; such as modularity and reusability.

UML used to present the conceptual and behavioral models of LECRM objects and classes.

The system has an inference tool used by students to produce / preview the detailed steps of the solution.

In the system construction we use Wamp web application server with MySQL for database and PHP language for interfaces designs.

The LECRM was tested in one local basrah secondary school by teachers and student.
