Connecting Research in Physics Education with Teacher Education vol 1 (original) (raw)

Teaching-Learning Contemporary Physics

Challenges in Physics Education, 2021

This book series covers the many facets of physics teaching and learning at all educational levels and in all learning environments. The respective volumes address a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to) innovative approaches and pedagogical strategies for physics education; the development of effective methods to integrate multimedia into physics education or teaching/learning; innovative lab experiments; and the use of web-based interactive activities. Both research and experienced practice will feature prominently throughout. The series is published in cooperation with GIREP, the International Research Group on Physics Teaching, and will include selected papers from internationally renowned experts, as well as monographs. Book proposals from other sources are entirely welcome. Challenges in Physics Education addresses professionals, teachers, researchers, instructors and curriculum developers alike, with the aim of improving physics teaching and learning, and thereby the overall standing of physics in society. Book proposals for this series may be submitted to the Publishing Editor:

Oersted Medal Lecture 2001:“Physics Education Research—The Key to Student Learning”

American Journal of Physics, 2001

Research on the learning and teaching of physics is essential for cumulative improvement in physics instruction. Pursuing this goal through systematic research is efficient and greatly increases the likelihood that innovations will be effective beyond a particular instructor or institutional setting. The perspective taken is that teaching is a science as well as an art. Research conducted by physicists who are actively engaged in teaching can be the key to setting high ͑yet realistic͒ standards, to helping students meet expectations, and to assessing the extent to which real learning takes place.

Teaching physics: with the physics suite

2003

Introduction Typical materials for a physics class A new alternative: The Physics Suite Motivation Who are we teaching and why? The growth of other sciences The goals of physics for all Are we already achieving these goals?0 Figuring out what doesn't work and what we can do about it Introducing Sagredo Why Physics Education Research? Knowledge as a community map Building the community map for education The impact on teaching of research on teaching and learning Even good students get the physics blues.

Resource Letter: PER-1: Physics Education Research

The purpose of this Resource Letter is to provide an overview of research on the learning and teaching of physics. The references have been selected to meet the needs of two groups of physicists engaged in physics education. The first is the growing number whose field of scholarly inquiry is or might become physics education research. The second is the much larger community of physics instructors whose primary interest is in using the results from research as a guide for improving instruction.

The Needs of Secondary School Physics Education

2010

Coach is an activity-based, open computer environment for learning and doing mathematics, science, and technology in an inquiry approach, developed in the last twenty-five years at the AMSTEL Institute of the University of Amsterdam. It offers a versatile set of integrated tools for data collection, data analysis, modelling and simulation, and for multimedia authoring of activities. In this paper, we present the STOLE concept that underpins the design and implementation of systems like Coach. It is an example of how members from the physics education research community came to convergence on tools for doing investigative work and achieved integration of tools. Special attention goes further to the mathematical requirements of such a learning environment and to the computer support of various representations of one and the same phenomenon or scientific concept. We also discuss one of the most complicating factors in the implementation of an integrated learning environment for mathema...

PoS(FFP14)231 Teaching modern physics in secondary school

The physics of the last century is now included in all EU secondary school curricula and textbooks, even if in not organic way. Nevertheless, there are very different positions as concern its introduction and students' conceptual knots in classical physics are quoted to argue the exclusion of modern physics in secondary school. Aspects discussed in literature are goals, rationale, contents, target students, instruments and methods. Very different goals, i.e. the culture of citizens, popularization, guidance, education, build different perspectives and aspects to treat selection: fundament, technologies and applications. Methods used are story telling of the main results, argumentation of crucial problems, integrated or as a complementary part in the curriculum. Modern physics in secondary school is a challenge, which involves curriculum innovation, teacher education and physics education research to individuate ways that allows the students to face the interpretative problems and manage them in many contexts and in social decisions. In this perspective, modern physics is an integrated content in curricula involving the building of formal thinking. Our research focus on building of formal thinking is on three directions: 1) Learning processes and role of reasoning in operative hands-on and minds-on phenomena interpretation; 2) object-models as tools to bridge common sense to physics ideas and ICT contribution focusing on real time labs and modelling; 3) building theoretical way of thinking: a path inspired of Dirac approach to quantum mechanics. We developed four different kind of proposals: 1) the physics of modern research analysis in material science: resistivity and Hall effect for electrical transport properties, Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy to look to structure characteristics, Time Resolved Resistivity for epitaxial growth; 2) Explorative approach to superconductivity phenomena (a coherent paths), 3) Discussion of some crucial / transversal concepts both in classical physics and modern physics: state, measure, cross section, 4) foundation of theoretical thinking in quantum mechanics.

Modern Physics for School Students Modern Physics for High School Students

This paper presents a brief modern physics teaching proposal for high school students, with a view to the importance of the use of experiments and simulations. With this is expected to facilitate the teaching and learning of students with respect to modern physics subject, which is not very well seen in high school, is of great importance to the education of the student. I also hope that this work will serve as an aid for teachers in order to view and teaching of modern physics in secondary level schools.
