Maths for Einstein's Universe Tools for Understanding Modern Reality
Anastasia Popkova, David Blair, David Treagust
Aversion to mathematics is a recognised and widespread problem. Following a review of the literature on this subject, this paper presents an education program which has been develo…
Developing and implementing an Einsteinian science curriculum from Years 3 to 10: Part B Teacher upskilling: response to training and teacher's classroom experience
Tejinder Kaur, Magdalena Kersting, Kyla Adams +12
Recent years have seen a growing interest in modernizing physics and science curricula around the world. While many science educators and curriculum developers design instructional…
Developing and implementing an Einsteinian science curriculum from Years 3 to 10 : Part A Concepts, rationale and learning outcomes
Tejinder Kaur, Magdalena Kersting, David Blair +10
There has been a growing realisation that school science curricula do not adequately reflect the revolutionary changes in our scientific understanding of the 20th century. This dis…
Can 8-Year-Olds understand concepts of Einsteinian physics?
Tejinder Kaur, Aishwarya Banavathu, David Blair +2
This paper reports the first study on the ability of Year 3 students (ages 7 to 8) to conceptualize Einsteinian concepts. This paper reports that children aged 7-8 are not too youn…
Long-term impact of a primary school intervention on aspects of Einsteinian physics
Kyla Adams, Roshan Dattatri, Tejinder Kaur +1
The physics that underpins modern technology is based on Einstein's theories of relativity and quantum mechanics. Most school students complete their compulsory science education w…
Can a short intervention focused on gravitational waves and quantum physics improve students' understanding and attitude?
Rahul K. Choudhary, Alexander Foppoli, Tejinder Kaur +3
The decline in student interest in science and technology is a major concern in the western world. One approach to reversing this decline is to introduce modern physics concepts mu…
Public and Teacher Response to Einsteinian Physics in Schools
Alexander Foppoli, Rahul Choudhary, Tejinder Kaur +3
Einsteinian physics represents a distinct paradigm shift compared to Newtonian physics. There is worldwide interest in introducing Einsteinian physics concepts early in school curr…
Evaluation of 14 to 15 Year Old Students' Understanding and Attitude towards Learning Einsteinian Physics
Tejinder Kaur, David Blair, Ron Burman +6
There is an increasing recognition regarding of the importance of introducing modern Einsteinian concepts early in science education. This study investigates the efficacy of an inn…
Gender response to Einsteinian physics interventions in School
Tejinder Kaur, David Blair, Rahul Kumar Choudhary +3
There is growing interest in the introduction of Einsteinian concepts of space, time, light and gravity across the entire school curriculum. We have developed intervention programs…
