Development of teacher guide materials based on Logger Pro sensors for simple pendulum

Abstract

The aim of this research is to develop teacher guidance material on 12th grade, in the subject of simple pendulum in physics lesson. The teaching material is based on innovative technology, computer-based Virtual Logger Pro supported sensors and experimental applications. Within the scope of this aim, guide material was developed by the researcher teacher and opinions were obtained from three physics teachers who are experts in their fields. In addition, it was applied to 29 students attending 12th grade. In the process, four sections in which students had problems were simplified and new arrangements were made. The research was applied in 2018-2019 academic year. In the research, liberating / developing / critical action research method which is one of the types of action research is used. It was found that the developed material was applicable, understandable, coherent with the content of the curriculum and could be evaluated in all types of schools where the subject of simple pendulum was taught.The aim of this research is to develop teacher guidance material on 12th grade, in the subject of simple pendulum in physics lesson.
