Description
Electromagnetic waves represents the propagation of the electromagnetic field. In this study we investigate how electromagnetic waves are presented in physics textbooks at upper secondary level. We focused the analysis on the most used textbooks in Italy and Argentina, as in some other countries the electromagnetic waves are not part of school curricula. We elaborated a rubric according to which we carried out the analysis. Its criteria represents the key aspect that we identified from the epistemological reconstruction. Each criterion is evaluated according to a three-tier scale. The analysis is ongoing, and the results will be presented at the conference.
