Physics and mathematics are deeply connected. However, there is ample research that mathematical reasoning in physics is not at all trivial for students. We present four contributions that discuss different aspects of mathematics and mathematical representations in university physics. The first contribution discusses student understanding of the Laplacian in the heat equation. In the second...

Andréas Mueller, Anna Lager (University of Helsinki), Dr Lars-Jochen Thoms (University of Konstanz), Dr Marina Connell, Dr Matteo Tuveri27/08/2024, 11:30Multimedia, AR, VR and AI in Physics EducationSymposium
Distance teaching, notably during the recent pandemic, has highlighted challenges in physics and STEM education globally. Efforts are underway to integrate computer-assisted data acquisition, mobile devices, and AI to enhance classroom learning. However, the effective use of digital technologies depends on developing teacher competencies, promoting digital literacy among students, and...

Jenaro Guisasola27/08/2024, 11:30Physics for Environment and Social issuesSymposium
The physics outreach and teaching activities undertaken by members of the International Commission of Physics Education (ICPE- IUPAP C14) involve a wide range of perspectives, populations and methods. A unifying theme is that the problems investigated by ICPE arise from the teaching and learning of physics, including its concepts, principles, epistemology and culture. In this Symposium, the...

STEM Digitalis project aimed at the development of blended and distance learning environments for pre-service science teachers in advanced STEM topics. Consequently, five teaching scenarios about contemporary scientific topics have been developed, to facilitate pre-service teachers’ conceptualization of STEM learning and to provide them with learning experiences, supporting the development of...

David Sands, Efrat Blau Barak (Weizmann Institute Of Science)28/08/2024, 11:30Physics CurriculaSymposium
This symposium will look at the difficult concepts of energy and entropy and examine different approaches for addressing them in the teaching of thermal phenomena. The law of conservation of energy is one of the most important laws in classical physics, but the common conception of the Second Law as the law of increasing entropy would suggest to some that entropy is the more important...

Chara Bitsaki, Emily Michailidi (University of Crete), Federico Corni (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano), Stamatis Vokos28/08/2024, 11:30Physics for Environment and Social issuesSymposium
This symposium is proposed by the GIREP Thematic Group “Physics Preparation of Teachers in Grades K-6” and consists of a discussion of two approaches to teacher education and professional development in elementary school grades, as well as secondary school grades. The first contribution illustrates how imaginative understanding of forces of nature and their interactions provides a pathway to...

Prof. Thomas Schubatzky (University of Innsbruck), Mr Matthias Fasching (University of Vienna), Ms Magdalena Micoloi (TU Dresden), Ms Sarah Wildbichler (University of Innsbruck)30/08/2024, 09:30Physics for Environment and Social issuesSymposium
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Therefore, physics education should help students address this issue. This symposium delves into approaches to integrating climate change education within physics teaching. The first contribution explores greenhouse effect learning environments in secondary education. The second talk presents the evaluation of climate change...

Magdalena Kersting30/08/2024, 09:30Teaching and Learning Physics ConceptsSymposium
This symposium, organised by the International Modern Physics & Research in Education Seminar Series (IMPRESS), addresses the intangible and abstract nature of modern physics concepts. Four contributions explore innovative approaches for conceptualising topics of relativity, quantum physics, and astrophysics across primary to tertiary education. Contributions include physical analogies for...

Dr Ignacio Julio Idoyaga (Universidad de Buenos Aires)30/08/2024, 09:30Physics Teacher Education and Professional LearningSymposium
This symposium highlights research in physics education in Latin America, focusing on technological and collaborative innovations. It features a professional learning community in Chile that uses real astrophysical data, remote laboratories in Costa Rica that facilitate distance education, a critical analysis of pseudoscientific discourses in Brazil, and the use of phenomenography in Mexico to...
