Abstract

Appropriate use of digital technologies may contribute to increasing students' motivation in teaching physics at all levels of school education. The base assumption for the abovementioned conjecture is that students do not often comprehend the physical nature of natural phenomena and events of everyday life and that dynamic modeling with phenomena visualization can help them to understand the studied issues. The paper presents an extended Web dynamic modeling in physics developed by using PHP and JavaScript as an easily accessible tool for teaching at all levels of education. This tool was created based on our research among teachers. The research survey was conducted through an e-questionnaire. The aim of the research was to determine the current status of the development and use of computer models in education at primary and secondary schools in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
