L’insegnamento della meccanica al biennio della scuola media superiore. Parte seconda: la sperimentazione

A research has been performed in classroom settings, in order to test the didactic effectiveness of original teaching approach to Newtonian mechanics proposed in a previous paper. Two high school classes (students 14-15 years old) were involved in the teaching experiment. Pupil’s conceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics was carefully monitored and it seems significantly improved compared to classes where a more traditional approach is applied.
