Item Developing and Piloting Interactive Physics Experiments for Secondary Schools in Tanzania(Educational Methods, 2015-09) Msoka, Vidate C.; Kissaka, Mussa M.; Kalinga, Ellen Charles; Mtebe, Joel S.Students in secondary schools in Tanzania have been facing difficulties in conducting laboratory experiments. This has been due to acute shortage of laboratory facilities and poor teaching methodologies. Consequently, students perceive science subjects as not attractive, difficult and irrelevant to understand the world around them. An interactive physics experiment was developed and piloted in two schools with 157 students to investigate whether interactive experiments can be used as an alternative to physical experiments. Results show that students found the interactive experiment was easier and more efficient than physical experiment and therefore, can be used as an alternative to physical experiments.
