The purpose of this research was to study the system of resources, the
objectives of their use and the factors that affect­­­­­­ the selection and
integration of the different resources by Lebanese secondary physics teachers
in their teaching in general and for teaching Electricity in particular. For
this aim, a qualitative approach was used and the
research was designed as a collective case study where four teachers were
purposefully selected. Interviews and classroom observations were the
main data collection tools. Results showed
that teachers used different types of resources: Paper resources, audio-visual
resources, object resources, and evoked resources to elaborate their teaching
activities. They paid a particular attention to the experimental activity using
object and audio-visual resources to enhance students' comprehension of Physics
concepts. Moreover, teachers referred to the virtual laboratory to be more
efficient than the real lab at the level of precision, clarity and management,
in addition to its importance for illustration at the microscopic scale.
Results also revealed that the school setting, time constraints and teachers'
professional knowledge are the main factors that affect the selection and the
integration of resources.
