TEACHING ELECTRODYNAMICS USING PHET SIMULATIONS: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Keywords:
PhET simulations, electrodynamics, physics education, digital educational technologies, interactive learning, electromagnetic phenomena, visualization, systematic literature review.Abstract
This article analyzes the use of digital educational technologies in teaching electrodynamics. In particular, the role and significance of PhET interactive simulations in physics education are examined. The study was conducted based on a systematic literature review. The results indicate that the use of PhET simulations enhances the effectiveness of explaining electromagnetic phenomena, facilitates the visualization of abstract physical concepts, and increases the interactivity of the learning process.
