Connecting Physics Education and Students' Digital Literacy

Abstract

Connecting physics education and digital literacy is a core element of modern science education. This paper focuses on how digital tools (e.g. simulations, interactive applications and data collection, etc.) can be integrated into school physics education. This is done to foster a deeper understanding of physics concepts while also developing students' digital skills. The understanding of theoretical science concepts is significantly improved, and the development of students' critical thinking or problem-solving skills is promoted. This supplement also provides specific recommendations on how teachers can effectively combine physics experiments with modern digital tools to prepare students for the digital challenges of today's world. In the digital age, it is essential for students not only to understand basic physics principles but also to be able to use digital tools to explore and apply them. Finally, recommendations are made for teachers to effectively integrate digital technologies into physics instruction and develop students in both directions.
