Evaluation of the Hypermedia Learning Environment “Physics for Medical Students” Within two Different Settings

  • Conference paper
Contributions from Science Education Research

abstract

The hypermedia learning environment “Physics for Medical Students“ was developed at the University of Düsseldorf. Several settings for the implementation of this hypermedia learning environment in the context of physics education of medical students were designed and evaluated

In this paper we report on two studies that deal with the comparison of the hypermedia learning environment to a labwork session concerning the learning efficiency. The comparison was made with regard to the major objectives for physics education of medical students
