Overview

This volume is based on a NATO Advanced Research Workshop in the Special Programme on Advanced Educational Technology. The objective of the workshop was to bring together researchers producing software in the field of electricity education, and more generally in physics education, and researchers involved in the connection between cognitive science andthe learning of a well defined domain such as electricity. The book is divided into five main parts: - New approaches to teaching electricity: research on the teaching of electricity has shown that traditional presentations should be questioned. - Analogies and models in electricity: teaching experiments based on different models of electricity are presented. - Contextualized electricity: a new field of research studies how adults who work with electricity and electronic devices represent electric phenomena and concepts. - Using computers in electricity teaching: studies show how computers can be used for assessing electricity knowledge and student models of electricity. -Design of learning environments: here interactive learning environments, some of them specially designed for practical work in electronics, are presented.
