Physics Education for Students: An Interdisciplinary Approach have Specific topics which include the benefits of active learning in physics education, dialogic best practices in science education, research-based proposals on optical spectroscopy in secondary schools, moral principles and e-learning in physics and extensive framing in physics laboratories with its selection of expert reviews. It is an interesting read for academics and researchers involved in STEM education, at the school or college level. This book covers specific topics which include the benefits of active learning in physics education, dialogic best practices in science education, research-based proposals on optical spectroscopy in secondary schools, moral principles and e-learning in physics and extensive framing in physics laboratories with its selection of expert reviews. It is an interesting read for academics and researchers involved in STEM education, at the school or college level.
The reviews cover different areas of physics education (laboratory activities, mathematics, philosophy and history) and the ways that learning outcomes can be improved. These distinguished areas can generate complexities and difficulties for students in learning some concepts since the same topics are often presented while following approaches that do not highlight the existing correlations among the involved disciplines. The reviewers discuss an integrated framework for readers with the objective to promote the inclusion of specific laboratory activities and mathematics contents for physics courses addressed to university students, with evidence of the importance of combining a historical and philosophical approach as well.
About the Editors:
Maria Teresa Caccamo
Dr. Maria Teresa Caccamo is a researcher in Experimental Physics at the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Earth Sciences at Messina University. Her research activity entails the Experimental Physics applied to the study of material systems and performed by using complementary spectroscopic techniques, emphasizing the development of neutron spectrometers based on statistical choppers and correlation techniques. Other relevant interests are constituted by Physics History and by Physics Teaching and learning methods. She has been a member of organizing committees. Moreover, has provided her services as an invited speaker at national and international conferences.
Salvatore Magma
Salvatore Magaza is a full-time professor of Experimental Physics at the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Earth Sciences at the University of Messina. He has received numerous international awards, including the 2000 European Science Prize that the French Academy of Sciences awarded. Since 2009, he has been serving as president of the Interuniversity Consortium of Applied Physical Sciences and as a Contract Professor at the Center d'Etudes Superieures de la Renaissance in Tours. In addition, he has been a member of the L'Oreal-UNESCO Jury For Women in Science since 2017. From 2010 to 2012, he served as the Chairman of the Disordered Systems and Liquids Scientific College of European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.
