update ACCEPTED!

Dear Mr./Ms./Dr. Wee,

We are pleased to inform you that your work, titled Easy Java Simulation, an innovative tool for teacher as designers of gravity-physics computer models, has been accepted
for the 18th Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning Conference (MPTL'18),
to be held in Madrid next September.

Please take into account the reviewers' comments when preparing your
presentation for MPTL'18. All authors would be asked to send a paper about their
work (of about 5 pages) a few months after the MPTL and a selected group of them
will be published in a proceedings book.

OVERALL EVALUATION: 2 (accept)
REVIEWER'S CONFIDENCE: 3 (medium)

----------- REVIEW -----------
EJS is used to model gravity physics basing on astronomical data to support inquiry-centric problem solving. The authors have mentioned very positive reaction of students for such a kind of investigating learning. The model is still improving and can be downloaded from www page. I recommend the paper because of very interesting subject, which is really difficult for students, giving them the possibility to experience the gravity-physics.
In two sentences two words, (in parentheses) should be added:
1. Word problem solving 'pedagogy' is not only a pedagogical mismatch, sending students on field trips into outer-space (but) is also untenable from safety and economic standpoints.
2. These new computer models serves to support the enactment of scientific work that are inquiry-centric and evidence-based that are more likely to promote enjoyment and inspire imagination having ‘experienced’ gravity-physics than traditional pen (and) paper problem solving.

----------- REVIEW -----------
the subject is very limited (gravitation only); however the work seems to be really practical, some application of the well known software.

AUTHORS: Loo Kang Lawrence Wee, Giam Hwee Jimmy Goh and Ee-Peow Lim

OVERALL EVALUATION: 1 (weak accept)
REVIEWER'S CONFIDENCE: 5 (expert)

----------- REVIEW -----------
Authors developed by means of EJS different tools to approach gravity with a inquiry method.
Simulations are not particular significant, but the proposed use is interesting for multimedia physics teaching/learning literature. The proposed use of the developed simulations in teacher education courses is very good.

Thank you for the reviews! :)

Title: Easy Java Simulation, an innovative tool for teacher as designers of gravity-physics computer models
Keywords:
computer model
simulation
interactive engagement
Abstract: In the study of Newtonian theoretical gravity concepts, the collection of scientific data is key to enactment of essential features of inquiry. Word problem solving 'pedagogy' is not only a pedagogical mismatch, sending students on field trips into outer-space is also untenable from safety and economic standpoints. Thus, researchers have created simulations to allow multiple visualization of these difficult concepts but they are usually meant for their own specific context.

Therefore, our research and development is on customized computer models using the Easy Java Simulation authoring toolkit (Christian & Esquembre, 2012; Christian, Esquembre, & Barbato, 2011; Esquembre, 2010a; F. K. Hwang & Esquembre, 2003) that are not only tailored to the Singapore syllabus but will be free, based on astronomical data, supported with literature reviewed researched pedagogical features. These new computer models serves to support the enactment of scientific work that are inquiry-centric and evidence-based that are more likely to promote enjoyment and inspire imagination having ‘experienced’ gravity-physics than traditional pen paper problem solving.

Pilot research suggests students’ enactment of investigative learning like scientist is now possible, where gravity-physics ‘comes alive’. We are still improving the features of these computer models through more students and teacher feedback and are downloadable from http://weelookang.blogspot.sg/2012/01/gravity-physics-by-inquiry-2012-innergy.html.We hope more teachers will find the simulations useful in their own classes and further customized them so that others will find them more intelligible and contribute back to the wider educational fraternity to benefit all humankind.
