| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research are as follows: 1) To reorganize physics by collecting materials both from non-living and living world. 2) To present physics by multimedia and to make it open to the public through the internet. 3) To apply the explored system to physics teaching at the university and to investigate the educational effect of its use.
The results of the research have been reported with two volumes of books which consist from about 370 pages. The text was converted into an e-text so that students can approach to it through the homepage.
We also made the web pages (http://www.saitama-med.ac.jp/uinfo/butsuri/) to assist students especially to those who do not have the basis of physics when preparing lectures, homework, and the examinations, etc. Students can find in these pages hints to homework problems, explanation and/or information on examinations and useful materials which help to understand lectures (display of motion, links to other educational sites where one can find teaching materials, interactive questionings etc.)
Some parts of the e-text were demonstrated by using power-point during lectures. In the lectures we tried to use examples with moving illustrations and interactive animations as much as possible in order to make the lectures more familiar and interesting. Such efforts made students the lectures more interesting which we confirmed from the response to the questionnaire to students. We have published several papers in which we have reported findings as well as computer simulations of the materials related to physics and life sciences as the results of this research.
