Read this book if you care about students really understanding
physics and getting genuine intellectual satisfaction from doing
so. Read it too if you fear that this goal is out of reach - you
may be surprised! Laurence Viennot here shows ways to deal with the
awkward fact that common sense thinking is often not the same as
scientific thinking. She analyses examples of frequent and
widespread errors and confusions, which provide a real eye-opener
for the teacher. More than that, she shows ways to avoid and
overcome them. The book argues against over-emphasis on "fun"
applications, demonstrating that students also enjoy and value
clear thinking. The book has three parts: * making sense of special
scientific ways of reasoning (words, images, functions) * making
connections between very different topics, each illuminating the
other * simplifying, looking for consistency and avoiding
incoherent over-simplification The book is enhanced with
supplementary online materials that will allow readers to further
expand their teaching or research interests and think about them
more deeply.
