Course objectives
Educational goals of the course are basic knowledge of   simple physical models for PC and their interpretation, as well as basic skills by the use of computers and the Internet in the study of physics and the preparation of teaching materials. The content is the creation of custom applications in physics and Internet use computer-assisted experiments and the use of freely available programs for modeling of physical phenomena. The main content of education include concepts such as modeling, simulation, support program for the management of the educational process. The student will increase his/her competence in modern computing and numerical packages.
Knowledge : model; modeling; simulation
Skills : create a physical model; modify existing models; orient   at the menu online applications classifiable in the educational process
attitudes : accept the importance of physical model   happening in the sciences, in education and training
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, students should know and be able to:
- Apply physical models of teaching practice
- The involvement of computers in "active" demonstrations of physical phenomena
- Assemble / create educational support at an adequate level
- Evaluate the accuracy used programs and supports in educational practice.
