Faraday's Law via e-experiments as an example of inquiry-based learning

The contribution demonstrates a practical application of the strategy of Integrated e-Learning via hands-on, remote and virtual experiments by means of the prepared interactive teaching tool in the form of a webpage titled 'Electromagnetism' (http://e-materialy.net76.net/index.html). It is designed in accordance with the method of inquiry-based learning where the active involvement of the students in the construction of their knowledge plays a decisive role. The paper presents the possibility of the utilization of e-experiments to secondary school physics education. The design and the realization of simple electromagnetic experiments as well as the remote experiment Faraday's Law are also introduced (free available on http://remotelab4.truni.sk/faraday.html). © 2012 IEEE
