Description

In this contribution, the results of a series of questionnaires conducted both with expert researchers and active high school teachers of physics, concerning aspects of the teaching of quantum physics at the secondary school level, are reported and compared. The addressed issues were the overall appropriateness of this teaching, the (quasi-)historical approach, the necessary mathematical tools and the specific topics that should be included. Some foundational and controversial aspects of quantum physics, which concern potentially includable topics, were addressed as well.
