    The effect of atmospheric optical phenomena photographed by students on learning motivation
    (2018) Blizak, Meriem Djanette; Remli, S.; Blizak, Salah
    The atmospheric optical phenomena (mirages, rainbows, halos, blue sky, sunset …) that we can observe in everyday life are very interesting for stimulating the students’ curiosity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of atmospheric optical phenomena photographed by university students’ on their learning motivation in geometrical optics (GO). To achieve the aim of the study, an available sample of the study composed of (200) students from the biology department of Boumerdes University, Algeria, was used. The subjects were randomly distributed into two groups: (165) of them in the experimental group and (35) in the control group. We have asked every student in the experimental group to use their smartphone or tablet to taking photos of an atmospheric optical phenomena and giving a physical explain. According to the motivation post and pres test, there were statistical significant differences in learning motivation in the favor of the experimental group

    The effect of using the history of sciences on conceptual understanding and intrinsic motivation
    (2017) Blizak, Meriem Djanette
    This study investigates the effect of using the history of science in teaching geometrical optics on the motivation and conceptual understanding of first year university students. For this purpose, 54 students were randomly selected, then divided into two groups: the experimental group was taught by using history of science before traditional geometrical optics teaching, and the control group was taught by traditional method only. Data were collected using two instruments: Geometrical Optics Understanding Concept Test and Geometrical Optics Intrinsic Motivation Scale. The finding showed that before instruction, the students have important and prevalent misconceptions about vision, propagation of light and refraction. After teaching of geometrical optics, the study shows that using the history of science shows greater effect on intrinsic motivation and concept understanding. The results have some implications for teaching physics, especially when the traditional teaching is inevitable
