... results consistently, even with minimal input from another human. The second prominent tool is the contrived real-world apparatus. This contrived real world involves idealized apparatus that mimics the idealized world of textbooks. For instance, friction is minimized through the use of air tracks or carts...

... home concept and the integration of energy meters into a home based system ” in Seventh International Conference on Metering Apparatus and Tariffs for Electricity Supply, 17–19 November 1992, Glasgow (IET, 1992 ). Peharz , G. , Ferrer Rodríguez , J. P. , Siefer , G. , and Bett...

... focus on presenting ideas for apparatus to teach radiation, radioactivity, or particle physics. Regarding the teaching of invisible radiation, several ideas were developed to build apparatus or to develop hands-on activities. For example, infrared radiation can be made visible using a thermal flashlight...

... efficient at setting up and collecting data from a physical apparatus than students who first worked with the same physical apparatus ( Finkelstein et al., 2005 ; and Coppens et al., 2016 ). In contrast, another study found that students were more confident in having acquired...

... by the Committee included films, teacher guides (which described some of the reasons behind the innovative approaches and specific components of the course), standardized tests, and recommendations for inexpensive experimental apparatus (specially designed by the PSSC). The latter were later followed...

... Quantum systems initially prepared in the same state evolve in a different way when subjected to a process of measure (a measure do not imply an incontrollable disturbance of the apparatus; the interaction process is intrinsically undetermined) Intrinsic (non-epistemic) uncertainty of a quantum...

... produced apparatus, and omission of historical controversy. In response, the researchers revised the lab with historical readings, an online calculator for evaluating data, and a comparison between two commercial apparatuses. After trialing this revised lab in a Canadian university course, students...

.... They are offered a sufficiently broad and comprehensive treatment of QM, exploring different phenomenologies and using the formal apparatus of QM, given that students have the tools and time to master it ( Cataloglu and Robinet, 2002 ; and Akarsu, 2011 ). In high schools, interventions are often limited in time...

... of energy meters into a home based system ” in Seventh International Conference on Metering Apparatus and Tariffs for Electricity Supply, 17–19 November 1992, Glasgow (IET, 1992 ). Peharz , G. , Ferrer Rodríguez , J. P. , Siefer , G. , and Bett , A. W. , “ Investigations...

.... In the gate mode, it measures the velocity of an object as it passes through the first photogate, and then again when it passes the second one. In the following figure, we depict the photogate timer (Fig. 6.6 ). FIG. 6.6 PASCO Scientific Photogate Timer (see: https://www.pasco.com/products/lab-apparatus...

... empirical method. Eighteenth-century textbooks in Europe and North America continued with this “Cartesian” philosophy and, as they became more “scientific,” started to describe experimental apparatus and mechanisms. A review by Meltzer and Otero (2015) reported on the historical development of physics...

... from the conventional analytical apparatus. Furthermore, with the proposed control scheme, we are not only able to reduce the lignin content but also able to retain significant cellulose in the pulp fibers. In summary, the developed modeling and control scheme was able to provide the greatest biomass...

... the phenomena being studied and the raw measurements, which require students to have a sophisticated understanding of the design and operation of the full experimental apparatus” (p. 11). They showed that students construct and use (mechanistic) models of the physical systems that lead to testable predictions...

... developed projects based on the reconstitution of the experiments, focusing on reconstructing the apparatus, recreating the experimental procedure and contextualizing the experience ( Höttecke, 2000 ; and Heering, 2007 ). The replication process is used to study the techniques used to manufacture...

... demonstrations, simulations, and experiments, physicists always needed tools (also referred to as experimental apparatus, instruments, devices, or equipment). As the digital technologies advanced, particularly in the second half of the 20th century, physicists were quick to adopt them into their instruction...

... might want to know why courses that use interactive engagement yield higher learning gains than those that use traditional lecture methods, or to investigate the costs and benefits of using computer simulators vs laboratory apparatus in the physics classroom. Both of these are “big” questions...

... that it is possible to transfer the theoretical and methodological apparatus he developed to study conceptual change to the study of identity ( diSessa, 2018b ). In doing so, he was particularly interested in how identity (which he takes to be similar to the notions of “self-concept” and “concept of others...
