摘要：Many physics professors have difficulties to know andassess in real time the learning of the students in their courses.Nevertheless, today, with Internet and the new technology devices that thestudents use every day, like smartphones, such tasks can be carried outrelatively easy. The professor pose a few questions in Socrative, the students answer them by means of the Smartphone. Inthis way, the professor knows what students learned and can promote thecooperative learning joining students who think differently, with the purposeto give them chance to discuss their answers and argumentations and,eventually, to improve both answers and arguments. In this article, we present the results of an initialfeasibility study of using Socrative and smartphones carried out withprospective teachers. The effects on the students were: they help them tounderstand concepts, they facilitate the argumentation and the exchange ofopinions. In addition, the use of this technology is, generally, easy forstudents and turns out to be interesting in the classroom. In conclusion, byusing efficiently Socrative andstudents’ smartphones, professors might achieve jointly three different goals:real-time assessment of the students’ learning, motivation of the students andincreased opportunities for active learning.
