Several studies point to pupils and students having problems working with graphs. However, only a few studies address this at the level of 11-12 year olds. It is during this period that pupils begin to attend Physics classes, where they construct their knowledge and skills including data collection and processing. The focus of this study is how students proceed when creating graphs and which...

Development of tasks suited for both in-person and distance learning for university students is needed since the sudden COVID-19 pandemic. We have prepared several experimental tasks for university students which are focused on experimental skills and the use of digital technologies to prepare students and instructors for remote assignments. Each task was designed following the framework we...

This contribution presents the research design of an ongoing study of parameters influencing perception of physics demonstrations by different communities of people involved in the upper secondary school (SS) education. Its aim is to determine such parameters in various groups of people (SS teachers, SS students, pre-service physics teachers, pre-service physics teacher trainers) and to...

We have used the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) as a framework for reforming the introductory physics laboratory sequence at a university in the Midwest USA. Lab experiences have been reformed to focus on science abilities and experiment design, in contrast to “cook-book” content-verification labs. Furthermore, labs were designed to use accessible sensors (ioLab sensor...

This communication describes the design and implementation of a mechanics laboratory at Sapienza Università di Roma. Due to the pandemic, most of the practicals in 2021 were held remotely. The lectures were held by a single lecturer, while for the lab part the students were divided into two sections, in one of which digital techniques were introduced, allowing them to carry out experiments...

Recently, calls for a shift in focus for physics lab courses have been made. It is recommended for introductory lab courses to aim at teaching students how to plan, conduct and evaluate a rigorous experimental physics inquiry. However, transforming lab courses is a difficult task. I elaborate on the road I have been walking the past three years in redesigning our first year physics lab course....

Over the last 15 years, efforts have been made to use the Minipix for educational purposes and by so doing, it is now possible to view and easily distinguish several types of these elementary radiation quanta, on the screen of a laptop.
Now is a good time for the... -

The paper will report on an improved approach to pre-service physics teacher training in electricity and magnetism at our faculty. It starts with an experiment-based lecture in the first year, complemented by an optional seminar that emphasizes experiments students will be able to use in their future teaching. Three years later, it culminates in teaching labs dedicated to this field....
