Description

This presentation describes the results of design and implementation of an educational laboratory on Old Quantum Theory (OQT), consisting of 5 afternoon meetings with 36 high-school students and 9 teachers, held in early 2023. The course was aimed to propose an approach to the OQT which is coherent, meaningful, and historically correct, without radically changing the physics contents, the mathematical formalism and the prerequisites actually used in Italy. A first evaluation of the activity’s effectiveness was assessed by means of questionnaires – comparing the answers obtained with those provided by an external sample – and individual interviews.
