THE USE OF CALCULATORS DURING A PHYSICS: PRO AND CONTRA

Hello my friends,

First of all, please attention me. I would like to speak about ‘the use of calculators during a physics: pro and contra.’ calculator is one of technology that can help the learning process. But we know that many high sch

ool students who use calculators as a tool for calculating when the tests take place, so simply blocks the use of a calculator. However, in this discussion I would like to talk from different side.

To begin with, let me say that on one hand the use of calculators can simplify the calculation process. Let’s look at the fact about problems using a calculator at school during lessons or test.

When a school faces the problem of using calculator, the teacher should find ways to prevent the use of calculators.Use of calculator during a physics test is not too bad because using calculator can help the student to do their test become easier. Besides that, accuracy by using a calculator to count higher, calculators can help students to better concentrate on understanding and learning math concepts, can save time in order not to waste energy and mind, and not spend paper to calculate.

On the other hand, using calculator may cause many negative effects for student. The students become dependent on the use of a calculator so that students become lazy to count manually. Besides that, using calculators hinder learners in discovering and understanding the concept of mathematical concepts. Use of calculators can indirectly deceive and numeric skills of students will decrease. Calculator can also prevent students to obtain one important benefit of learning math is to train and discipline the mind and promote logical reasoning.

So far, using a calculator to the students in the habit of doing the test. On one hand, it can simplify the calculation but on the other hand, it can make students become dependent with the use of a calculator.

POSITIVE POINTS:

using calculator can help the student to do their test become easier.
accuracy by using a calculator to count higher
calculators can help students to better concentrate on understanding and learning math concepts
can save time in order not to waste energy and mind
not spend paper to calculate.

NEGATIVE POINTS:

the students become dependent on the use of a calculator

students become lazy to count manually

using calculators hinder learners in discovering and understanding the concept of mathematical concepts

use of calculators can indirectly deceive and numeric skills of students will decrease.

Calculator can also prevent students to obtain one important benefit of learning math is to train and discipline the mind and promote logical reasoning.

In conclusion, for all these reasons we say that using calculators many positive and negative effects. When we use calculators are not too bad but we should not depend on the use of a calculator.

GENERIC STRUCTURE:
