Description
Quantum physics is inherently described by mathematical structures. Hence, it seems plausible that mathematical knowledge might support its conceptual understanding already in upper-level secondary school. It is therefore desirable to develop and evaluate corresponding teaching-learning sequences. However, for a successful implementation, it is crucial that teachers accept and understand such sequences. In a first step, by an explorative interview study we investigate in-service teachers’ and prospective teachers’ acceptance and understanding of a mathematical description of fundamental principles of quantum physics. We present the analysis of the interview data with respect to attitudes about the teaching-learning sequence and difficulties in understanding.
