Treffer: Learning by Coding as an Educational Method of Approaching Projectile Motion.

The article focuses on the integration of coding into physics education, specifically through a learn-by-coding lab designed for upper secondary students to enhance their understanding of kinematics, particularly horizontal projectile motion. The study involved two groups of students, where the experimental group engaged in Python programming to build simulations, while the control group followed standard curriculum instruction. Results indicated that the experimental group showed significant improvement in their understanding of the concepts compared to the control group, highlighting the effectiveness of coding as a tool for teaching physics. The findings suggest that incorporating computational skills into physics education can deepen students' comprehension and foster collaborative learning. [Extracted from the article]
