... with the phenomena. Researchers argue that students face difficulties in handling and integrating the conceptual (e.g., periodic graphs) and the perceptual (e.g., the periodic motion of a pendulum) aspects of periodicity ( Buendia and Cordero, 2005 ). The question of how textbooks support this difficult integration...

... for pendulum experimentation (by K. Kalovrektis). As far as the free fall experimentation is concerned, in Fig. 6.22 we depict the front view panel of the LabVIEW programming interface. The system receives signals in real time from the optical position sensors inside the vacuum tube and provides...

... chains to address other common phenomena that require multi-component systems analysis, such as a falling ball or a swinging pendulum. Thus, while forms-based approaches have shown some promise, little is currently known about how to address two major difficulties experienced by students in forms-based...

... physical experiences ( Zacharia et al., 2012 ). Concerning the physics content, VLs have been implemented in a variety of topics with different phenomenology and conceptual structure. Topics from mechanics like pulleys and pendulums, DC circuits and heat exchanges seem to have attracted...

... analyzing the energy change of processes, even in simpler systems such as the swing of a pendulum—a common example in physics textbooks—can be challenging if one does not consider all the interacting components of the system ( Lindsey et al., 2012 ). Moreover, the focus on hypothetico-deductive...

... apparent that the landscape is complex and that trying to make sense of it is challenging. Activity Theory Activity Theory (AT) has a long history of being used to analyze complex systems and environments, including institutions, workplaces, and classrooms, as well as human-computer interactions...

... quantifying physical properties of the system at hand and defining labelled axes; the renderings of computer-based physics simulations are all in some way “built up from the formal mathematical relationships in [their] source code” ( Euler and Gregorcic, 2019 , p. 361). Herein lies what can be called...

... introduced an epistemological “randomness,” as another challenge to expectations of reproducibility: Even assuming classical determinism, tiny differences in initial conditions can lead to radically different outcomes, in systems as simple as a dripping water faucet or a double-pendulum. The main points here...

... and/or temperature. In statistical physics, distinctions between microstates, macrostates, and multiplicity are (perhaps unsurprisingly) challenging. Mechanistic or statistical reasoning focused on constituent particles A recurring theme is the interplay between macroscopic models of bulk systems and particulate...

... and selected all the papers independently. The items with different opinions were handed over to a third researcher for further discussion. FIG. 16.1 The process of paper selection for the review. Coding system Our study focused on the three levels of content and the representation of content. Each research...

..., finding that a well-structured system of epistemic beliefs before early adulthood is atypical. Accordingly, teacher-trainees as well as Ph.D. students can be considered to be on their way to acquire mature and consistent epistemological views. This chapter introduces select and venerable traditions...

...://shipseducation.net /); The Story Behind the Science ( Clough, 2011 ); and the European HIPST Project ( Höttecke, 2012 ). Various HPS perspectives contextualize the pendulum ( Matthews, 2000 ; and Matthews et al., 2005 ), a central topic in high school physics. Descriptive, empirical, theoretical...

...-signing countries should “ensure an inclusive education system at all levels and lifelong learning” to support the development of a sense of dignity, self-worth, personality, talents, creativity, and mental and physical abilities, such that disabled people can “participate effectively in a free society...

... of younger students. There is never enough time to address all the important issues, and compromises must be made between subjects, time availability, and, once these are determined, the topics that will be included in the lessons. In this paper, we briefly introduce the Slovenian educational system...

... simulation, finite difference methods, and the method of relaxation. These techniques were grounded in exemplar physical systems such as the Ising model, double pendulum, and Laplace equation. The course further emphasized key skills in this kind of computational analysis, such as code documentation...

... observers. Galileo included a thought experiment involving a ship traveling with a smooth, steady motion across a flat sea. Experiments conducted in the closed hold of the ship, for example involving the swings of a pendulum, the vertical fall of drops of water into a bowl, the tossing of a ball back...

...- or nano-opto-electromechanical systems (MOEMS/NOEMS) are used for sensing ( Basu et al., 2021b ), processing and actuation, in diverse applications. Common sensing applications include accelerometers, gyroscopes, microscopy and spectroscopy ( Fleming, 2013 ; and Errando-Herranz et al...

... because it is certainly not restricted to experimental practices. The above examples of Newton and Einstein illustrate again that the role of individual geniuses in science is typically emphasized—a tendency which has been (and still is) further sustained through the scientific reward system. The focus...
