This section focuses on thecriteria upon which to select the appropriate tools for the curriculum. The students will need some previous knowledge of a few different performancemodeling software applications.

present study, the students in universities of technology hold somealternative conceptions in Electricity. Therefore, the physics teacher should think how to teachthe topics of electricity in an effective way. Furthermore, more research is need on developingmore effective teaching strategy to enhance UT students’ conception about electricity. Finally, itis found that the UT students did lack of the ability/intention in reasoning and explanation. It issuggested that physics teacher should encourage students and provide them more opportunities toengage in reasoning activities in physics course.AcknowledgementThe funding of this research work is provided by the National Science Council, Taiwan, ROC,under grant NSC 97-2511-S-259-008-MY3
