Abstract
We developed simulation teaching aids by using personal computers, and also carried out experimental and demonstrative research on the educational effect of this teaching aids. The main achievements of our research may be summarised as follows: (1) In learning "the electric circuit", theoretical understanding was more effectively achieved using visual teaching aids made by personal computers, while a demonstrative grasp of the subject was achieved effectively through practical tasks. (2) The students showed a strong interest in learning through teaching aids produced by personal computer. (3) It can be considered that there is no significant difference between simulation teaching and practical tasks on the results of achievement test.
