Item Using Technology to Enhance Students’ Understanding of Selected Science Concepts in Integrated Science(2016-10-26) Kumassah, E.; Nyarko, K.Momentum and Direct Current are fundamental concepts in science, necessary for understanding a variety of phenomena of importance such as work, energy (i.e. potential and kinetic), impulse, power, pressure and force among others. However, investigations conducted among science students in linear momentum and direct current in other countries indicated that the difference between what is taught and what is learnt in science classes is much greater than what most instructors perceived. This is because findings from these studies showed that students have difficulties in understanding linear momentum and direct current. Over the years, this same issues have been raised by the Integrated Science Chief Examiners’ reports at the Colleges of Education level in Ghana. This ongoing study intends to use technology through a three-stage design-based research approach to see if technology could help bring about students' understanding in these two concepts
