Advanced physics transposition (APT): A new name for a not-so-new field of research

Abstract

Research into educational physics is a field of study that has undergone sustained growth in recent decades. Among the topics addressed in educational physics, there is a relatively new field of research that seeks to make advanced physics accessible to teachers in this area, that is, physics that, due to its novelty and complexity, is beyond the reach of a typical high school teacher. For the reasons discussed in this paper, I the name advanced physics transposition or APT is suggested for this field of research. The objective of this work is to make a first attempt to systematise this field, to draw attention to the place it occupies, and no less important to give it a name that represents the objectives, methods and results that characterise it.
