... such as light propagation, shadow formation, reflection from mirrors, refraction of light by lenses, and image formation. Many of these optical phenomena continue to be investigated and the purpose of this chapter is to examine the range of diagnostic instruments for measuring students’ conceptions of optical...

... defined research questions. Finally, we summarize and discuss our findings and give a future perspective for content research on teaching/learning optics. Optics as a Subtopic of Physics and Teaching/Learning Optics at the Secondary Level Optics is often referred to as the study of light. However...

... led to the development of many more conceptual tests in several physics topics ( Robello and Zollman, 2005 ). Test of Understanding Graphs in Kinematics (TUG-K) ( Beichner, 1994 ), Light and Optics Conceptual Evaluation (Sokoloff, 1997 as cited in Kaltakci-Gurel et al., 2015 ); Force...

... of the curriculum. Global goals include experiencing, observing, and appreciating animate and inanimate nature and developing a responsible attitude toward our planet; learning about the human body and healthy living; learning about matter, space, time, sound, light, and technical devices; and learning about...

..., Electromagnetism, Fluids, Light, Nuclear Physics and Radioactivity, Heat-Temperature and Kinetic Theory. Learning Outcome: This is related to the desired learning outcomes to be more effectively met through the use of technological means. Variables: The experimental variable quantities...

.... The historical record is clear: controversies occurred throughout its progression, especially when established theories clashed with competing views: geo-centrism vs helio-centrism; Huygens vs Newton on the nature of light; Leibniz vs Newton on the nature of space, gravity and action-at-a-distance ( Dainton...

.... The research by Niedderer and colleagues made it possible, for example, to shed light on one of the most widespread and unsolved learning problems: how students use the concept of a wave function as an object of classical physics. This conceptual node is associated with the idea of retaining the idea...

... sensor, the light flux sensor, the gyroscope, and their combinations. It is characteristic that since 2012, in the Physics Teacher magazine, the iPhysicsLabs column has been dedicated to the presentation of educational experimental procedures using smartphones. At the same time, applications that allow...

.... Light-heat-work energy expression is transformed in this technique in order to produce electricity. Through the use of thermal storage technology in conjunction with solar thermal power generation technology, consistent and continuous electricity output is made possible, as described in Li et al...

..., we discuss the III-nitride compound semiconductors and the relevant devices such as solid light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). While addressing the specific problems/challenges prevalent in a semiconductor, we first discuss several aspects of thin-film growth...

... systems contain one or a few PV modules, a battery, cabling, a mounting structure, and a charge controller, which are usually used to cater to a specific load (e.g., some lighting appliance or central power plants for rural areas). FIG. 7.2 Electricity generation, conversion, and supply for a PV system...

... starts out from the more abstract items on the NOS-list. In light of this controversy, Irzik and Nola (2011) have provided still another conceptualization of NOS. Here, the notion is based on the concept of family resemblance; see also Erduran and Dagher (2014) . This approach is much broader than...
