In Short
MOTIONz is designed to bring experiential learning to the secondary STEM school classroom. It’s goal is to help students take a hands-on approach to learning about ‘movement’, part of the physics curriculum.
It was ultimately created to look into the suitability of tangible tools for current education. Studies have already proven tangibles to be highly beneficial to learning but what about the implementation of such tools? And what is the effect on the full learning experience and not just performance?
This study aimed to create an insight into the teachers perspective on tangible tools and how they see the potential influence on their students’ learning experiences.
