homework problems in an introductory mechanics course at a university. A
quasi-experimental field study with two cohorts design was performed to
measure the impact of such exercises on motivation, interest and conceptual
understanding. The empirical results on learning achievement show a
significant positive influence of the smartphone-based experimental exercise
for the dynamics of rigid bodies topic with a medium effect size of d =0.42.
For the analysis of rotational motion topic, a positive learning achievement
for both groups was evidenced, but the effect size of the smartphone-based
exercise was rather small at d =0.20 . The intrinsic and germane cognitive
loads turned out to be similar at an intermediate level for both groups.
However, the extrinsic cognitive load for the intervention group decreased
significantly, which might be the reason why more complex experimental
exercises foster conceptual understanding.
