The advantages and disadvantages of using a virtual laboratory and computer models in the educational process in physics are identified. The expediency of using virtual laboratories and computer models in the context of mixed physics education is substantiated. To teach future physics teachers to create and use computer models of physical phenomena and processes is carried out in a professionally oriented author's course "Methods of using computer technology in professional activities." The stages of development of a physical model for the formulation of a mathematical problem are described and the implementation on the example of development and use of the program "Dynamic model of an ideal gas" is shown.

ICT has invaded the educational process and is providing us with many opportunities to exploit. An additional challenge faced by Physic educators has been the integration of Virtual laboratories in the teaching process. In recent years, Inquiry-Based Science Education has proved its efficacy in education by expanding on “traditional” lessons and motivating students to actively participate in science. Digital technologies support necessary educational innovations and can be the catalyst for change in educational patterns (in regard to its form, space, functions, services, tools, roles, procedures). Virtual laboratories are an essential digital tool. In fact, many Latvian schools are equipped with computer classes, tablets and high-speed internet connection while using a huge variety of web-based learning applications, simulations and visualizations. The paper evaluates necessary skills and abilities which can be developed at the secondary level, analysing and planning the interaction between the physics education process and technological development. The article also highlights the direction of future research.

This study was aimed at determining the results of virtual laboratory implementation in the introduction of quantum physics in improving the generic proficiency of prospective teacher students. The research method used was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest control group design. This design uses the determination of equivalent subjects between the experimental group and purposive control. This learning module consists of 2 types, namely computer program aided module that display the visualization of quantum physics symptoms and conventional learning modules. This study was carried out on a teacher training institution in Bandung, West Java. The research subjects were the sixth semester students of Physics Education in the Subject of Quantum Physics, year 2014/2015. The sample in the experimental group consisted of 15 students, while the control group consisted of 24 students.

The research design used by one group pretest-posttest design. Analysis techniques of data using pretest and posttest with the influence test formula or t-test at a 95% confidence level. The increase in understanding of the concept of basic electronics I between before and after using electronics workbench software is calculated to use of the normalized gain test (N-Gain). The calculation results show that the value of tcount (= 9,680) > ttable (= 2,447) at 95% confidence level so that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. As for the increase in understanding of the concept of basic electronics I the value is shown by N-Gain with value 0.552 and it is in the medium category. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that there is a significant influence use of electronics workbench-based virtual laboratories to support understanding the concept of lecturing basic electronics I for students. Keywords: virtual laboratory; electronics workbench; basic electronics I

A particularly important aspect of learning physics is using models of physical objects, processes and phenomena. Modeling is an important component of learning and cognitive activity. This determines its importance for the formation and development of students’ knowledge and skills. The Physics Education Technology (PhET) project creates useful simulations for teaching and learning physics and makes them freely available on the PhET web site: http://phet.colorado.edu The simulations are interactive, animated and visual. Some ideas for their using in physics education are presented. They can be used in various of ways, including demonstration experiment as part of lecture, student group work or individual worksheets, homework assignments or labs. The possibility for using simulations in remote education is considered. Students are given interactive assignments. They include interactive problems in the form of computer simulation and questions related to it. The students work with data which they analyze and present tabular and graphically. This approach suggest activities based on enquiry. In result their motivation and interest in physics increases.

The skills to construct and interpret graphs are a form of science skills and are an important component in learning physics. The purpose of this study was to describe the ability of undergraduate physics education students to construct graphs based on practicum data and interpret them. Data obtained through respondent answer sheets, thinking-aloud recordings, and interviews. The research was conducted at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) Untad and the research subjects of the Physics Education Study Program students were 6 people obtained based on the values of Basic Physics I and Basic Physics practicum II then divided into three groups of levels (high, medium, and low) with each category as many as 2 people. The results of this study indicate: 1) in general, respondents in the high, medium, and low categories can construct graphs but are not based on the prerequisite ability to construct graphs, especially in determining the x-axis and y-axis variables, 2) on the ability to interpret graphs, respondents can interpret graphs the relationship between variables on the graph but not supported by an explanation or evaluation based on proper physics concepts, 3) The strategy used by respondents in constructing graphs, in general, is to convert data in decimal form or scientific notation and 4) The difficulties experienced by respondents when constructing graphs are converting data, determining the scale and how to determine the variables on each graph axis.
