Abstract:
The importance of "learning by doing" cannot be overstated, as it enables learners to understand the subject matter effectively. This systematic review explores the use of Physics Labs Results Analytics Software (PLRAS) as a complementary tool that enhances traditional practicum methods, offering flexibility and accessibility while maintaining the pedagogical benefits of experiential learning. The integration of digital tools facilitates real-time data capture and automated analysis, thereby reducing the potential for human error. This systematic review aims to identify trends and methodologies in the conduct of physics laboratory classes within higher education, with a particular emphasis on the analysis of laboratory results rather than the mere reporting of findings. Additionally, it examines the current features of PLRAS, highlighting the learning approaches that facilitate skill development in STEM students. Interested parties will find information on software functionalities that enable all students who participated in the physics lab to engage in subsequent analytics, ensuring that every student is inclusively involved in the conclusion-making process.
