We are really glad that so many experts from all over the world agreed to come to Prague to exchange experience in various areas concerning physics education. This Book of Abstracts shows that we can look forward to each day of the conference. In total there will be 8 keynote lectures, 175 oral presentations, 15 workshops and 120 posters – this promises to provide a lot of inspiration and is sure to initiate many interesting discussions. Abstracts of more than three hundred contributions represent a lot of pages. We decided to save paper (and your arms that otherwise would have to carry a heavy printed book) and to publish this Book of Abstracts in an electronic form. We hope that – “in a changing world of new technologies” – you will find this solution natural and reasonable. All abstracts submitted to the conference were reviewed by two independent reviewers. We would like to thank very much all those who kindly agreed to review the abstracts; we really appreciate their help. Also, we would like to thank both IUPAP and EPS as well as the other sponsors mentioned below for their support. Last but not least, many thanks to all of you who submitted your abstracts, created your lectures, presentations and posters, and prepared your workshops. It is you, the participants, who are the most important element of the conference – and we hope you will enjoy both its scientific and social program. We wish you an informative and memorable week in Prague! Leoš Dvořák The conference is organized by: The conference is sponsored by: 2 ICPE-EPEC 2013 Introduction _ Schedule at a glance Monday 5. 8.

Each abstract has its own code – see the figure below on this page. Keynote lectures are denoted just by K1 to K8. All other codes start with a number equal to the abstract ID in the EasyChair system into which all abstracts were submitted. Then, after the full stop, a letter distinguishes types of contributions: O for oral presentations, W for workshops, P for posters. Then the number of a session follows: 1 to 3 for the three poster sessions, 1 to 11 for the oral and workshop sessions. (See the ‘Schedule at a glance’ above for further information.) There are also two “workshop night” sessions coded WN1 to WN2. For oral presentation and workshops, the code ends with a letter indicating the room. Examples: 321.O11F denotes an oral presentation that takes place in Session 11 in Room F. (in the ‘Schedule at a glance’ you can find that it will start on Friday at 10:10; number 321 is just a unique ID of the abstract). 099.W6D denotes a workshop in Session 6 (Tuesday from 16:40) in Room D 066.P1 denotes a poster in Poster session 1. Session unique ID of the abstract 039 . O 1 A Room type of contribution (Oral, Workshop, Poster) The codes are used both above the title of each abstract and in the Author index at the end of this book. Because this Book of Abstracts is in the form of a PDF document you can easily find the abstract you want using its code. Of course, you can also let

  • Learning Physics Through Transduction

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Associate Professor David Brookes (Department of Physics, California State University). Abstract Volkwyn, T. S. 2020. Learning Physics through Transduction. A Social Semiotic Approach. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1977. 294 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-1034-3. This doctoral thesis details the introduction of the theoretical distinction between transformation and transduction to Physics Education Research. Transformation refers to the movement of meaning between semiotic resources within the same semiotic system (e.g. between one graph and another), whilst the term transduction refers to the movement of meaning between different semiotic systems (e.g. diagram to graph). A starting point for the thesis was that transductions are potentially more powerful in learning situations than transformations, and because of this transduction became the focus of this thesis. The thesis adopts a social semiotic approach. In its most basic form, social semiotics is the study of how different social groups create and maintain their own specialized forms of meaning making. In physics education then, social semiotics is interested in the range of different representations used in physics, their disciplinary meaning, and how these meanings may be learned.

  • Nanoscience Education
    The Molecular Workbench Software: An Innova- tive Dynamic Modeling Tool for Nanoscience Education Charles Xie and Amy Pallant The Advanced Educational Modeling Laboratory The Concord Consortium, Concord, Massachusetts, USA Introduction Nanoscience and nanotechnology are critically important in the 21st century (National Research Council, 2006; National Science and Technology Council, 2007). This is the field in which major sciences are joining, blending, and integrating (Battelle Memorial Institute & Foresight Nanotech Institute, 2007; Goodsell, 2004). The prospect of nanoscience and nanotechnology in tomorrow’s science and technology has called for transformative changes in science curricula in today’s secondary education (Chang, 2006; Sweeney & Seal, 2008). Nanoscience and nanotechnology are built on top of many fundamental concepts that have already been covered by the current K-12 educational standards of physical sciences in the US (National Research Council, 1996). In theory, nano content can be naturally integrated into current curricular frameworks without compromising the time for tradi- tional content. In practice, however, teaching nanoscience and nanotechnology at the secondary level can turn out to be challenging (Greenberg, 2009). Although nanoscience takes root in ba- sic physical sciences, it requires a higher level of thinking based on a greater knowledge base. In many cases, this level is not limited to knowing facts such as how small a nano- meter is or what the structure of a buckyball molecule looks like. Most importantly, it centers on an understanding of how things work in the nanoscale world and—for the nanotechnology part—a sense of how to engineer nanoscale systems (Drexler, 1992). The mission of nanoscience education cannot be declared fully accomplished if students do not start to develop these abilities towards the end of a course or a program.

  • COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CONSTRUCTIVE CHEMISTRY: PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING THROUGH MOLECULAR MODELING Summary
    COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CONSTRUCTIVE CHEMISTRY: PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING THROUGH MOLECULAR MODELING Summary. Chemistry educators have long exploited computer models to teach about atoms and mole- cules. In traditional instruction, students use existing models created by developers or instructors to learn what is intended, usually in a passive way. Almost a decade ago, NSF sponsored a workshop on molecu- lar visualization for science education in which participants specified that “students should create their own visualizations as a means of interacting with visualization software.” The lack of efficient visualiza- tion authoring tools, however, has limited the progress of this agenda. It was not until recently that mo- lecular modeling tools became sufficiently user-friendly for wide adoption. This joint project of Bowling Green State University (BGSU), the Concord Consortium (CC), and Dakota County Technical College (DCTC) will systematically address this important item on the workshop participants’ wish list. The pro- ject team will develop and examine a technology-based pedagogy that challenges students to create their own molecular simulations to test hypotheses, answer questions, or solve problems. To implement this pedagogy, the team will produce a set of innovative curriculum materials, called “Constructive Chemis- try,” for undergraduate chemistry courses. CC’s award-winning Molecular Workbench (mw.concord.org), which provides graphical user interfaces for authoring visually compelling and scientifically accurate in- teractive simulations, will be enhanced to meet the needs of this research. “Constructive Chemistry” will be comprised of instructional units and modeling projects that cover a wide variety of basic concepts and their applications in general chemistry, physical chemistry, biochemistry, and nanotechnology.

    International Journal of Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education, 23(4), 40-50, 2015. Evaluating and Developing Physics Teaching Material with Algodoo in Virtual Environment: Archimedes’ Principle Harun Çelika, Uğur Sarıa, Untung Nugroho Harwantob Corresponding author: [email protected] aElementary Science Education, Education Faculty, Kırıkkale University, Turkey bPhysics Teacher, Surya Institute, Tangerang, Indonesia Keywords: physics teaching, virtual environment, Algodoo, Archimedes’ principle. Abstract This study examines pre-service physics teachers’ perception on computer-based learning (CBL) experiences through a virtual physics program. An Algodoo program and smart board was used in this study in order to realize the virtual environment. We took one specific physics topic for the 10th grade according to the physics curriculum in Turkey. Archimedes` principle is one of the most important and fundamental concepts needed in the study of fluid mechanics. We decided to design a simple virtual simulation in Algodoo in order to explain the Archimedes’ principle easier and enjoyable. A smart board was used in order to make virtual demonstration in front the students without any real experiment. There were 37 participants in this study who are studying pedagogical proficiency at Kırıkkale University, Faculty of Education in Turkey. A case study method was used and the data was collected by the researchers. The questionnaire consists of 28 items and 2 open-ended questions that had been developed by Akbulut, Akdeniz and Dinçer (2008). The questionnaire was used to find out the teachers` perceptions toward Algodoo for explaining the Archimedes’ principles. The result of this research recommends that using the simulation program in physics teaching has a positive impact and can improve the students’ understanding.

  • Student-Generated Representations in Algodoo While Solving a Physics Problem
    Uppsala University Project in physics and astronomy, 15 hp Student-generated representations in Algodoo while solving a physics problem Oskar Bengtz supervised by Bor Gregorcic Elias Euler June 19, 2018 Sammanfattning Fysiklärare möter ofta den svåra uppgiften att representera abstrakta, väldefinierade egenskaper hos den fysiska världen (så som krafter eller energier) för studenter som går bortom ekvationer, grafer eller diagram. I denna studie tittar jag två fall av universitets- studenter som löser en fysikalisk uppgift, användandes det digitala programmet Algodoo på en stor pekskärm för att undersöka hur studenter naturligt använder sig av sådan tek- nologi för att återskapa dessa representationer själva. Jag finner att när studenter skapar scener i Algodoo prioriterar de att behålla en viss mått av likhet från den fysiska världen, vilket går bortom den formella behandlingen av uppgifter som studenter kan ha fått lära sig i fysikundervisningen. Vidare, när studenterna använder sig av fysikaliska ekvationer vid lösandet av problemet, verkar de använda Algodoo som ett facit för att se huruvida deras numeriska lösning, uträknad på en klassisk whiteboard, stämmer. På detta sätt - vilket har föreslagits i tidigare forskning - ser jag hur Algodoo, och liknande digitala lärmiljöer, fungerar som en bro mellan studenternas konceptuella förståelse av den fysis- ka världen, och den mer formella, matematikbaserade beskrivningen vilket används inom fysiken. 1 Abstract Physics teachers are often faced with the difficult task of representing abstract, formally- defined properties of the physical world (such as forces or energy) for students in a way which goes beyond equations, graphs, and diagrams. In this study, I investigate two cases of university students solving a physics problem while using the digital software, Algodoo, on a large touch screen to examine how students might naturally leverage such technology to create such representations of their own.
