No full textThis Italian contribution to the STTIS (science teacher training in an information society) investigations of transformations of curriculum innovations looks at the implementation of the use of real-time experiments and images (RTEI), in which computer data acquisition and display is built in to aspects of science teaching. Certain critical features, important for the successful and fruitful use of RTEI, are identified, notably those related to obtaining real data in real time. We observed the extent to which different teachers made use (or not) of these features, transforming the innovation in various ways. The research results were used to design a set of training materials about the use of RTEI, designed to be used in a two-session teacher training workshop. The structure of the workshop is described and examples of training materials are given
Integrare Scienza e Tecnologia nei programmi di Scuola Secondaria Superiore: progettazione e valutazione di un modulo di insegnamento sulle proprietà ottiche dei materiali
No full textL'articolo presenta i risultati di una indagine sul tema delle relazioni tra Scienza e Tecnologia. L'indagine è stata condotta nel contesto della sperimentazione di un modulo didattico sulle proprietà ottiche dei materiali mediante un questionario a risposta aperta somministrato ad un campione di circa 70 studenti
di Scuola Secondaria Superiore. Dall'analisi dei dati raccolti emergono differenze significative tra le risposte date dagli studenti prima e dopo le attività del modulo.
Tale evidenza mostra plausibilmente l'efficacia del modulo nel migliorare le idee degli studenti sul tema delle relazioni tra Scienza e Tecnologia. Inoltre, il confronto con ricerche analoghe condotte in Italia suggerisce la necessità di innovare
il curriculum di Scuola Secondaria Superiore introducendo temi che integrino esplicitamente argomenti di Scienza e Tecnologia
STUDENTS READING IMAGES IN KINEMATICS: THE CASE OF REAL-TIME GRAPHS.
No full textGraphs of real-time esperiments are useful tools in science education; their intrinsic features allows innovative didactic approaches. The use of such images is spreading and is likely to become common classroom practice. This paper describes a study in which secondary school students were called upon to read and interpret documents containing images of real-time kinematics graphs specially designed to address common learning problems and to minimize iconic difficulties. Both novice students and those
with a little esperience of real-time esperiments were involved. The overall didactic intentions of the presented documents were fulfilled. Some reading difficulties related to specific features were detected and are discussed. Suggestions are made regarding the acquisition of some specific capabilities that are needed to avoid misinterpreting these images and are of transversal value across several contests. Finally, some implications for teacher training and class activities are discussed
