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."
