Teaching relativity with a different philosophy

Abstract: A teaching module on special relativity is described in which priority is given to attitudinal objectives as opposed to objectives of content. The implications of this for the methodology and the structure of the course are described. The functioning of the course material in practice is discussed together with some conclusions drawn from evaluations of the module.

“…Taking into account what has been previously stated, we consider that it would be important that in textbooks there were an explicit reference of the following aspects: deepening on the notion relative movement in the frame of Classic Mechanics, discussion of contraintuitive concepts (Posner et al 1982;Villani & Pacca 1987;Gil & Solbes 1993;Arruda & Villani 1996;Villani & Arruda 1998), discussion on the concepts of space and time, analysis and discussion on the concepts of observer and simultaneity in the frame of SRT (Angotti et al 1978;Aleman Berenger & Pe´rez Selles 2000), and the clearing of paradoxes.…”

“…En el plano más específicamente didáctico, y al margen de otras consideraciones generales relativas al análisis de conceptos (Herron et al, 1977) y a la propia noción de concepto en las ciencias físicas (Gilbert y Watts, 1983), la permanencia del sustrato ontológico newtoniano podría encontrarse en la base de algunas dificultades encontradas en la adquisición de ideas relativistas en los estudiantes (Angotti et al, 1978;Hewson, 1982;Villani y Pacca, 1987). De hecho, podríamos aventurar la hipótesis de que es precisamente la ausencia de una revisión explícita de la cosmología newtoniana la que dificulta en buena medida una más correcta comprensión de la relatividad.…”

“…En la literatura se encuentran investigaciones pioneras sobre la enseñanza de la TER a estudiantes universitarios (ANGOTTI et al, 1978;PIETROCO-LA, ZYLBERSZTAJN, 1999;SALTIEL, MALGRANGE, 1980;PANSE, RAMADAS, KUMAR, 1994;SCHERR 2001;SCHERR, SHAFFER, VOKOS, 2001, 2002PÉREZ, SOLBES, 2003;HOSSON, KERMEN, PA-RIZZOT, 2010); y muy pocas en la enseñanza secundaria (VILLANI, PACCA, 1987;PÉREZ, SOLBES, 2006;DIMITRIADI, HALKIA, SKORDOULIS, 2009;DIMITRIADI, HALKIA 2012).…”
