Small Group Learning with Digital Pens in High School Physics

Abstract

Physics learning was known to be hard for high school students and it was known that there was a gender difference in this perspective. One important method to promote student learning achievement in physics is to increase the opportunities to receive feedbacks during problem-solving practices, and small group learning is one of such a good method. Another method is to provide multiple viewpoints to assist student learning, and digital pens is a potential tool to achieve this goal. The experimental results showed that female students are more benefited from small group learning and male students may suffer in learning retention when digital pens were used in small group learning setting.
