Visual Basic Applications to Physics Teaching

Derived from basic language, VB (Visual Basic) is a programming language focused on the video interface component. With graphics and functional components implemented, the programmer is able to bring and use their components to achieve the desired application in a relatively short time. Language VB is a useful tool in physics teaching by creating educational programs with him. This study aimed to exemplify the applications used during training in physics by using VB programming language. To increase efficiency of teaching and learning, teaching and assessment strategies involve the use of diverse teaching methods. Also, differential treatment of students during the training process should be took into account both their educational profile and the quality and level of language which are interpreted and presented in curricular contents. In this sense, this study presents the evaluation matrix of students ’ learning styles and computer programs for rapid determination of physical parameters. Advantages of using programs made with VB are that it shortens the time and develops interactive training component during phases of study and assessment of physical phenomena
