...' views of the ontology of charge, either phenomenologically or as a theoretical construct. One exception is work by Fischer and von Aufschnaiter (1993) , who detailed how the meaning of the term “charge” evolved for a sixteen-year-old student as she took part in thirteen 90-minute lessons...

... in medicine) and “bad radiation” (used for food radiation and nuclear weapons) ( Henriksen and Jorde, 2001 ). In an interview study, N = 50 14–16-year-olds were interviewed for 10–15 min to investigate their images of radiation. Although 49 of the 50 students described nuclear radiation as being...

... diffraction phenomena, but were not able to explain, for example, how the diffraction image occurs. Susac et al. (2020) tracked the eye movement and measured dwell time, number of fixations, average fixation times, and number of revisits of 18 year old students (35) while they were answering...

... has been widely followed by teachers in the Netherlands, in Primary and Secondary. The group led by A. Tiberghien from the University of Lyon proposes an instructional focus that they call “Two Worlds” as an intermediate framework to inform the design of TLSs in Secondary physics (14–18 years old...

... as in the ways teachers approach the topic ( Mullis et al., 2016 ; Krijtenburg-Lewerissa et al., 2019 ; and Stadermann et al., 2019 ). It was developed in schools with a narrative or descriptive dimension of the solutions, based on old physics of quanta, for the interpretation...

..., 2000 ; and Becker, 2018 ). Nor are such debates new or solely characteristic of 20th century science. Unlike typical textbook presentations whose exclusive focus is to show scientific consensus in retrospect for a triumphant theory, interpretive problems of theories, whether old...

... of light with preschool students Ravanis et al. (2013) interviewed 170 Greek preschool students, approximately six years old, comparing students taught in two groups. One group was taught a socio-cognitive framework that attempted to support children in constructing a precursor model based...

... was Here program at the Teylers Museum in the Netherlands (Fig. 13.2 ). In Lorentz's original lab, high school physics students use replicas and authentic historical electromagnetic instruments. On arrival, students scoffed at “funny old machines.” But after experimenting directly with these artifacts...

... et al., 2012 ). Atsu et al. (2020) evaluated the long-term reliability and performance of monocrystalline PV modules in a 12-year-old off-grid PV system in the tropical climatic conditions of sub-Saharan Ghana. The effects of different PV module parameters on the output power reduction...

...). Moriarty collected survey responses from 152 STEM instructors; participants largely identified as white (91%) and were split equally as identifying as men (49%) and women (51%); 36 to 51 years old (40%) and 51 to 65 years old (48%); and teaching full time (57%) and part-time (42%). Moriarty also...

... members. The past 20 years have seen the emergence of undergraduate LAs to support course structures. While some physics faculty members are beginning to use more research-based instructional strategies, many still fall back on the old standard of passive lecture due to a variety of factors typically...

... and justification of one's own position to persuasion. Attending to the details of reasoning will probably help us much better appreciate the finer details of holding beliefs and the willingness to revise them. Young children (ages 4–11 years old) can be more overconfident in their knowledge and are also more...

.... Empirical studies concerning students in secondary school showed different students' difficulties and misunderstandings of mathematization. For instance, Uhden and Pospiech (2009) studied the problem-solving strategies of 15–16-year-old students and looked at their difficulties in using units...

... published by her and Frisch. Meitner was already 61 years old and had no prospect of future work. These are more elements that help us think about how the political moment favored Meitner not to have her name printed in the first article on the division of uranium. These are also aspects that allow us...

... relativity ( Einstein, 1949 , p. 52f). According to Einstein's recollections, this episode took place when he was only 16 years old; thus, it seems to be much easier for students to connect to this story. However, as pointed out by Norton (2013) , this thought experiment does not deliver the promised result...

.... In the preliminary reading of the reviewed papers, we found that there are papers that addressed several themes. For example, Gauld (2004) analyzed old textbooks to discuss the different understandings of pendulums, which could be grouped into conceptual or epistemic levels. We discussed this case and coded...

... of values into a graph without context, 13- to 15-year-old students had more difficulty with non-integer values than with integer values. After the points have been entered in the graph, it is not always clear for students whether they can draw a function graph or not. They connect point to point...
