The study explores various issues encountered by educators when students utilize AI to solve physics problems, highlighting potential pitfalls and opportunities. Through testing AI chatbots' capabilities in physics learning, the paper evaluates their effectiveness in providing accurate and insightful responses. Results indicate that while AI, especially ChatGPT 4, shows promise in aiding students' understanding of physics concepts, there are limitations and challenges to consider, such as over-reliance on technology and the potential for AI to produce misleading solutions. The implications and discussions underscore the need for a balanced approach in integrating AI into education, emphasizing authentic understanding over merely obtaining correct answers. Using AI in creating teaching materials is not evaluated here.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SuhonenTiili2024, author = {Suhonen, Sami and Tiili, Juho}, title = {The Role of Learning Space in Enhancing Active Learning: Introducing the STEM-Center at Tampere University of Applied Sciences}, series = {Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Physics Teaching in Engineering Education PTEE 2024}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Physics Teaching in Engineering Education PTEE 2024}, editor = {Sch{\"a}fle, Claudia and Stanzel, Silke and Junker, Elmar and Lux, Christine}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:861-opus4-25855}, pages = {84 -- 90}, year = {2024}, abstract = {This paper describes the transformation of engineering physics education through activating teaching methods for better learning outcomes and the redesign of learning spaces to support these pedagogical approaches. The transformation of a traditional physics laboratory into a versatile group work and multipurpose space known as the "STEM-Center," at Tampere University of Applied Sciences is presented. The transformation was inspired by active pedagogical methods such as "Peer Instruction," "PDEODE," and the "SCALE-UP" method and its associated spaces. After the transformation, the space remains suitable for physics laboratory work. Across all courses, it encourages students to be active participants rather than passive listeners, which in turn improves learning outcomes. Most students express high satisfaction with the pedagogical methods and the learning environment as well as a preference for these engaging and activating methods over traditional lecture-based teaching, highlighting an enhanced learning experience and a stronger sense of ownership over their learning.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BouwmanHoogenboomFuhrmannetal.2024, author = {Bouwman, Wim and Hoogenboom, Jacob and Fuhrmann, Tina A. and Gelbord, Todd and Hettich, Christian and Sum, J{\"u}rgen and J{\"o}dicke, Bernd and Kautz, Christian and Neff, Julia L. and Krocker, Georg and Oostinga, Jeroen B. and Ruhe, Tim and D{\"u}ser, David and Schneider, Andreas Karl Peter and Suhonen, Sami and Tiili, Juho and Versen, Martin and Kipfelsberger, Stefan and Wendlandt, Michael}, title = {Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Physics Teaching in Engineering Education PTEE 2024}, editor = {Sch{\"a}fle, Claudia and Stanzel, Silke and Junker, Elmar and Lux, Christine}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:861-opus4-24648}, pages = {110}, year = {2024}, abstract = {The Proceedings of the 12th PTEE conference 2024 in Rosenheim present 15 articles from a wide range of actual topics in physics teaching - from artificial intelligence, innovative teaching and examination methods, lab experiments, tutorials to thoughts on what would be desirable to know, when you start teaching (activating) physics.}, language = {en} }
