摘要：Summary Experiential science learning based on the in-built sensors of handheld devices such as smartphones, tablet computer and game consoles has seen quite a strong development in recent years. In particular, such devices with internal acceleration sensors offer an innovative approach to kinematics learning in classroom physics, a notoriously difficult topic for pupils. In view of research and teaching in this domain, the practical advantages and disadvantages of two such devices, the Nintendo WiiMote and the Apple iPod touch, are discussed. Beyond the specific examples, this comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of two different “philosophies” of instructional technology with regard to their use in science learning experiments provides arguments for discussions and decisions related to such technology in other and future settings, which can be of interest to both researchers and practitioners in the field.
