Abstract

The widespread use of smartphones, tablets in everyday life has created an opportunity for effective learning with the help of new technologies. The aim of this study was to design and produce an interactive and dynamic physics e-book and to investigate its impact on learning and memorizing physics concepts. The research method is experimental using post-test design with intervention and control groups. The study population was all eighth grade female students , which was selected as a research sample . the experimental group was trained for three sessions using the interactive and dynamic physics e-book, and the members of the control group were trained in the usual way . Researcher-made learning and memorization post-tests were used to collect data. To analyze the data, t-test were used. The results showed that the two groups of intervention and control in learning the concepts of physics were not significantly different from each other, but in memory, the difference between the scores of the two groups was significant. According to these results, the capabilities of dynamic and interactive e-books can be used to increase retention and also strengthen the motivation of learners in the process of teaching and learning the concepts of physics.
