One day, during the day, while I was reading a Physics textbook - kind of a new generation physics textbook - meaning that it’s been published recently and also it’s based on physics education research too - wow! What a pretty book ;), I found a really cool quotation in this book. So I just wanted to share it to you all here.
Let’s have a look. “A good problem-solving technique does not begin with equations. It starts with a firm grasp of the concepts and how they fit together to provide a coherent description of the physical world”. What do you think about it now?
This is the nice quote, I would say anyway. So why do I consider this as a cool quote? Well…perhaps it might arise from mind own experience as well as my research interests at the moment too. Some of you might have known me already. My Ph.D. thesis is related to conceptual understanding - definitely this has made me so impressed…thought you guys can imagine what I mean, can’t you?
Alright…I won’t go over the details of the quote, but if you are interested in this kind of things, you could have a look in any websites related to physics education research. You should be able to find out the information you are looking for, I hope. ;) Another option is that you can read new generations textbooks since they are mostly based on the findings from the physics education community these days.
Contact me directly if you need some guidance regarding this sort of information…don’t be shy, folks ;)
Also send your thoughts right away to me if you like…I don’t mind seeing your positive or even negative comments, though! I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Thanks for taking your time to read my post.M@N
