Understanding student challenges with circulation and Ampère-Maxwell law
Alvaro Suarez, Arturo C. Marti, Kristina Zuza +1
We investigated how students apply the concept of circulation when faced with problems related to the Ampere-Maxwell law. For this purpose, we designed a metacognitive pencil-and-p…
Research in teaching and learning sequence design. To what extent do designers theoretical orientations about learning and the nature of science shape design decisions
Jenaro Guisasola, Kristina Zuza, Jaume Ametller +1
Over the last three decades, various didactic proposals have been published in an attempt to connect theory and research findings with the design of Teaching-Learning Sequences (TL…
Learning difficulties among students when applying Ampère-Maxwell's law and its implications for teaching
Álvaro Suárez, Arturo C. Marti, Kristina Zuza +1
We investigate learning difficulties among second-year students on electromagnetism courses when they apply Ampère-Maxwell's law. Using phenomenography, we analysed written answers…
Presentation of the electromagnetic field in introductory physics textbooks and consequences for its teaching
Álvaro Suárez, Arturo C. Marti, Kristina Zuza +1
Textbooks play a fundamental role in teaching and learning in school science classrooms. In this paper we investigate the presentation of the nature of the electromagnetic field in…
