The Current Status of the use of Gizmos Interactive Simulations in Teaching Science and Social Studies - 3rd Grade: A Case Study in Selected Primary Schools in Vietnam
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 02
Abstract
Information technology is playing an increasingly important role in education, particularly in subjects that require visual representation, such as Science and Social Studies at the elementary level. This study evaluates the current application of Gizmos interactive simulations in teaching science and social studies - 3rd grade at selected elementary schools in Vietnam. Through a survey of 57 primary school teachers, the study analyzes the extent of usage, benefits, challenges, and potential solutions to enhance the effectiveness of this tool.The findings reveal that while most teachers are inclined to integrate technology into their teaching, the use of interactive simulations remains limited. The primary challenges include language barriers, a lack of detailed instructional guidance, and insufficient infrastructure. Nevertheless, the majority of teachers recognize the potential of Gizmos interactive simulations to enhance teaching effectiveness through their interactive and visually engaging nature. Based on these findings, the study proposes several strategies to promote the adoption of Gizmos interactive simulations in elementary education, contributing to the overall improvement of teaching quality in the context of comprehensive educational reform. These insights not only provide an overview of the current use of interactive simulations in elementary instruction but also offer practical solutions to optimize their implementation, helping teachers more easily access modern educational technology.
