Abstract

V originále

Specially processing of the measurement results is not very popular students work and is often also strongly pedagogically neglected part of lessons. At this point it must be said that handwritten protocols with drawn charts are not so useful for students. They do not receive an overview of how the results are processed outside the school and they do not learn how to write science texts on computer. That may lead to an unpleasant consequence in their future. Often we can see that the charts are created and analyzed in programs such as MS Excel or LibreOffice Calc. But this software was designed primarily for business applications and if students work with them it may teach them quite a bad habits especially in analysis and data visualization. Total work with them is for the purposes of analyzing the results very inconvenient and limited. Graphs have very little variability settings, reading of values is also problematic as well as interleaving curves. And I think we do not need to do much talking about problem with identifying errors. Students are literally pushed to interleave the curve not by using functional dependencies but simply using sufficient scale to match the shape of a paper protocol according to the theoretical assumption. It is obvious that such a conceived work in the physical laboratory is not dispose of good quality in the field of evaluating results. For this reason it seems appropriate option to reach for one of the programs that is directly specified for working with charts and analysis. In the poster we will try to focus in greater detail on some free programs that can be used for work during the measurements using (for example SciDAVis, QtiPlot, LabPlot,…).
