| Book Description | A lot of research studies have been conducted to investigate “How Students Learn Physics”. Numerous studies on this subject focus on what may be called as ‘preconceptions’ and misconceptions’. Pre-concepts are everyday experiences, common sense theories, array of explanations, beliefs or present status of knowledge by means of which the learners’ make their own sense of environment they observe and experience. These have also been referred as alternative frameworks. When learners hold views which differ from conventional scientific explanations or classifications they are often referred to as alternative frameworks. When physics is taught as formal subject without referring to learners’ preconceived notions and ideas, they consider it as an imposition of authority. As a result there is a mental conflict which probably resulted in form of the sources of alternative frames. Research studies related with understanding the concepts of force, frictional force, mechanics and optics at different Levels” have been carried out. Findings and implications of these studies are presented and discussed in the present book. Present book comprises of eight chapters. Chapter 1 gives the general introduction of the studies. Students’ alternative frames about understanding the concepts of force, frictional force, mechanics, optics and electrical components are presented and discussed in Chapter 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively. In addition to these chapters, two chapters viz Constructivist Approach of Learning the Concepts of Work, Energy and Power (Chapter 7) and Development of Values through Physics Activities/Experiments (Chapter 8) have been included. Each chapter of the book is self explanatory. Salient Features: 1. This textbook is suited for everyone including undergraduates, post-graduates, researchers, and academicians 2. The book includes development of subjects from basic to advanced levels 3. The book is categorically designed to be user friendly and easy to read 4. The book provides concise and effective discussion on included content 5. The book includes case studies |
