Description
|
In the past few decades, cognitive research has made significant progress in understanding how people learn.
The understanding of cognition that has emerged from this research can be particularly
useful for physics instruction. We will discuss and explore, in a language accessible to
everybody, how the main findings of cognitive research can be applied to physics teaching and assessment.
