Different versions of the two slits experiment are investigated, pointing out the peculiar difficulties of its didactic presentation, and the conceptual misunderstandings that a superficial reading of the experience can lead to. […]
In this paper we start from the analysis of some problems leading to the finite difference equation: (delta f / delta x) = k * f(x) + a , f(0) = f0, k and a being constants, related to the differential equation: (df / dx) = k *f(x) + a. […]
A short report of the introduction of computers in the schools and in physics teaching in France. […]
Nowadays, teachers are assailed by plenty of proposal on the ‘best way’ of teaching Physics. Be carefu… and, meanwhile, go back to study Physics, again and again. […]
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. […]
