In our world today, scientists and technologists speak one language
of reality. Everyone else, whether they be prime ministers,
lawyers, or primary school teachers speak an outdated Newtonian
language of reality. While Newton saw time and space as rigid and
absolute, Einstein showed that time is relative - it depends on
height and velocity - and that space can stretch and distort. The
modern Einsteinian perspective represents a significant paradigm
shift compared with the Newtonian paradigm that underpins most of
the school education today. Research has shown that young learners
quickly access and accept Einsteinian concepts and the modern
language of reality. Students enjoy learning about curved space,
photons, gravitational waves, and time dilation; often, they ask
for more! A consistent education within the Einsteinian paradigm
requires rethinking of science education across the entire school
curriculum, and this is now attracting attention around the world.
This book brings together a coherent set of chapters written by
leading experts in the field of Einsteinian physics education. The
book begins by exploring the fundamental concepts of space, time,
light, and gravity and how teachers can introduce these topics at
an early age. A radical change in the curriculum requires new
learning instruments and innovative instructional approaches.
Throughout the book, the authors emphasise and discuss
evidence-based approaches to Einsteinian concepts, including
computer- based tools, geometrical methods, models and analogies,
and simplified mathematical treatments. Teaching Einsteinian
Physics in Schools is designed as a resource for teacher education
students, primary and secondary science teachers, and for anyone
interested in a scientifically accurate description of physical
reality at a level appropriate for school education.
