  This paper reports the use of Tracker as a pedagogical tool in the effective
learning and teaching of projectile motion in physics. When computer model
building learning processes is supported and driven by video analysis data,
this free Open Source Physics (OSP) tool can provide opportunities for students
to engage in active inquiry-based learning. We discuss the pedagogical use of
Tracker to address some common misconceptions of projectile motion by allowing
students to test their hypothesis by juxtaposing their mental models against
the analysis of real life videos. Initial research findings suggest that
allowing learners to relate abstract physics concepts to real life through
coupling computer modeling with traditional video analysis could be an
innovative and effective way to learn projectile motion. 2015 Resources:
