... chemicals, interactions of tiny particles among atoms, and electromagnetic influences in organic materials. No one can deny that the emergence of modern physics has brought about a revolution in modern science and technology and civilization in our lives. Thus, the international comparative assessment...

... the basis of classical electromagnetic theory. Studies in cognitive science have also shown that the spontaneous retrieval of a relevant, appropriate, and productive source for an analogy is not trivial, and that superficial similarity often plays a major role in analogical retrieval rather than deep...

... in fundamental physics, either in, e.g., classical dynamics or electromagnetism ( Batterman, 2013 ; and Sklar, 2013 ) or more commonly, problems currently preoccupying physicists and their modern “core theories”: relativity, quantum and statistical mechanics (e.g., Knox and Wilson, 2021 ). Though the roles...

.... Optics is one of those content areas of classical physics that has not been the center of focus of content research. Nevertheless, research results and research strands have accumulated over the years and provide relevant insights and evidence on challenges, pitfalls, and supporting elements for teaching...

.... However, since then, the content of physics textbooks at the secondary level, which describes “classical physics” has hardly changed for more than a century ( Docktor and Mestre, 2014 ). In contrast, the content of textbooks in other scientific disciplines, such as biology and chemistry, is constantly...

... of science, based primarily on her cognitive-historical analysis of the conceptual innovations of Faraday and Maxwell in understanding electromagnetism. From this perspective, conceptual restructuring is seen as driven by the interaction between analogical and propositional representation, both external...

... of the light-quantum hypothesis. These specific examples ignore relevant auxiliary hypotheses. Both effects can be accounted for in the semi-classical theory, i.e., by treating only the matter quantum mechanically while the electromagnetic field is described classically ( Passon and Grebe-Ellis, 2017 ). How...

... reviewed for the computer simulations VE focused on specific scientific concepts such as classical physics concepts including Newtonian mechanics, electric circuits, motion, and gas laws (e.g., Clark et al., 2011 ; Hockicko et al., 2015 ; and Chao et al., 2016...

... ( Etkina et al., 2019d ). The following example describes a week of instruction dedicated to electromagnetic induction in a course that follows a traditional format: lectures (whole class meetings), labs, and problem-solving sessions (recitations). Students in a lab setting work in small groups...

... higher amplitude and higher frequency to higher energy, which could be a useful resource in electromagnetic waves and quantum mechanics. In fact, a similar resource reappears in the context of waves. Among the first studies on oscillations is one by Ambrose (2007) . They started with a question about...

... to relate one situation to another ( Lin and Singh, 2013a , 2013b ; and Whitcomb et al., 2021 ). For example, with appropriate scaffolding, students can learn over time to recognize that all classical mechanics problems are essentially the same, even though they may have very different surface...

... actions, flow from the specifics of the SSLE. For example, the round tables in the SCALE-UP classroom promote student interaction while hindering classical lectures by the instructor. The impact of the classroom on instructional expectations and decisions has only begun to be studied, ²...

... of thermodynamics, electromagnetism and energy physics, we will surely want to resist narrow definitions of the physical sciences that exclude their engagement in geophysics and climate. Secondly, we should observe the significant but ambiguous senses in which social or cultural contexts are often construed in some...
