Description
Wave-particle duality is included in many high school physics curricula as a concept central to quantum physics. However, whether wave-particle duality can be taught effectively depends on the students’ notions of the classical concepts of waves and particles and the ability to apply these concepts in modelling the physical world. Using a questionnaire on these concepts, we investigate the development of the mental models of waves and particles from novice to expert. The outline of this study as well as the results will be presented at the GIREP conference.
