Produktbeschreibung
This book is invaluable for teachers and students in high school and junior college who struggle to understand the principles of modern physics and incorporate scientific methods in their lessons. It provides interactive and multidisciplinary approaches that will help prepare present and future generations to face the technological and social challenges they will face. Rather than using a unidirectional didactic approach, the authors - scientists, philosophers, communication experts, science historians and science education innovators - divide the book into two parts; the first part, "Communicating Contemporary Physics", examines how new physics developments affect modern culture, while the second part, "Digital Challenges for Physics Learning", covers physics education research using ICT, plus the experiences of classroom teachers and a range of ideas and projects to innovate physics and STEM teaching.
Autorenporträt
Marilena Streit-Bianchi received a doctorate in Biological Sciences from the University of Rome and joined CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva (Switzerland), in 1969. She has been a pioneer in the study of high-energy particles produced by accelerators for cancer treatment. She has held managerial positions on safety training and technology transfer, has been a senior honorary staff member at CERN and is actively engaged in multidisciplinarity. She has been book editor and curator of exhibitions in Europe and Mozambique promoting art and science in particular. She is the vice president of the international association ARSCIENCIA and member of the Italian Physics Society (SIF). She has been co-editor of the book "Mare Plasticum-The Plastic Sea -Combatting Plastic Pollution Through Science and Art" Springer 2020, of the book "Advances in Cosmology" Springer nature 2022. ¿ Marisa Michelini is full time Professor of Physics Education in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics (DMIF) of the University of Udine, where she is from 1994 Rector Delegate for different areas and also for GEO University Consortium that she has headed since 2014. She is responsible for the Physics Education Research Unit (URDF), which she founded in 1992. At international level from 2012 she is President of International Research Group on Physics Education (GIREP); from 2016 board member of PED Section of European Physical Society (EPS); from 2014 board member of Multimedia Physics Teaching Learning (MPTL) and from 2019 consultant of CERN for Education. Her research activity during the entire career has been devoted to innovative physics education paths on modern physics. She received in 1989 the Italian Physical Society Award for the Exhibit Games Experiments Ideas and in 2018 the IUPAP-ICPE International Award for the research in physics education. Walter M. Bonivento, experimental physicist in astroparticle and particle physics. Senior INFN Researcher, coordinator of astroparticle physics of the Cagliari INFN Unit. He has been working for 20 years at CERN (DELPHI, LHCb, with many leadership roles) and since a few years at LNGS with the Darkside experiment as member of the executive board. He is the Scientific Director of the Aria project for the distillation of argon for the research of dark matter carried out at LNGS. Lecturer at the Physics Department of the University of Cagliari and INFN Manager of the dissemination project on Dark Matter DARK. Project leader and coordinator of Gravitas together with Mateo Tuveri and Viviana Fanti, physics-philosophical chats held from december 2021 - april 2022. Matteo Tuveri master degree in theoretical physics and PhD with as research subjects Blackholes, holography, Dark Matter and emergent gravity. Researcher in the field of physics education and scientific dissemination. Professor of the History of Physics of the Twentieth Century, in his research he develops communication strategies and new methods for teaching physics by combining art, technology and science. He works and collaborates in close synergy with institutions, festivals and schools in the Italian territory.

Rezensionen
"The book is structured in two distinctive sections on modern physics topics and the latest information and communication technologies (ICTs) for classrooms. ... New Challenges and Opportunities in Physics Education emerges as a valuable resource for a diverse audience. It is a guidebook for educators searching for innovative strategies to spice up their physics teachings or to better weave modern science into their lessons."
