Observing Students' Use of Computer-based Tools During Collision Experiments
written by Elizabeth George, Maan Jiang Broadstock, and Jesús Vázquez-Abad
This item is a paper presented at the 2001 Physics Education Research Conference.  The authors investigate the effects of instructional approaches in microcomputer-based laboratories (MBL) and video-based labs (VBL) in an undergraduate physics laboratory.  Results indicate that students are able to make good use of of computer-based tools to explore collision in the lab, and that they respond to this added information by spending more time in lab talking about concepts.  The authors also discuss their data which shows some of the difficulties students had in learning the concepts of conservation of momentum and energy.
