Description

Despite quantum mechanics' significant role in technological advancements, its interpretations remain a subject of ongoing debate among scientists. In this study we examine the evolution of student perspectives on quantum mechanics interpretations during an elective course on the subject in upper tertiary education. We focus on identifying changes in student thinking and developing an instrument for teachers and students to examine their own views on various aspects of interpretations of quantum mechanics, such as realism and locality. In this presentation we present our preliminary findings.
