A Step that Paves the Way of Teaching Modern Electrical Circuits

Abstract

Conventional incandescent bulbs are widely used in science education experiments. Today incandescent bulbs are being replaced by LED bulbs, which students encounter quite often in their daily lives, but they ignore how LEDs operate in a simple circuit. Also, the electronic devices used every day are getting smaller and smaller in scale, preventing students from understanding that they simply incorporate basic elements of electrical circuits that they learn in school. This research seeks to find ways to make this integration and to evaluate learning outcomes in primary school students.
