Research QuestionsResearch Questionsin physics education
• How can we introduce “difficult concept in physics” in more intuitive way?→experiences and experiment (f i t ti l t d t )(for international students)
[Situation]Curriculum gap→lots of unfamiliar phenomena→lots of ambiguous questions→difficult!
• How can we realize intuitive and deeper understanding of physics?(for whole students)

• Socially important theme choice: radioactivity• Make every procedure easier to achieve (small step:primitive experiences, discovery by themselves)
• Find links between physics, experiment and mathematics (completing jigsaw puzzle)

Review of initial questionsand temporal answer
Q1 How can we introduce “difficult concept in physics” inQ1.How can we introduce difficult concept in physics in more intuitive way?
A1 Introduce primitive experiments or contents as aA1. Introduce primitive experiments or contents as a buffer to standard one, which will grow intuition and enable them to link(relation) between physics,enable them to link(relation) between physics, experiments and mathematics.
Q2.How can we realize intuitive and deeperQ2.How can we realize intuitive and deeper understanding of physics?
A2 Transform students’ difficulty into primitiveA2. Transform students difficulty into primitive experiences and start from there. Then make them naïve questions based on experiments. The answer has q palready set in the experiment. Just repeat this in every direction (physics, experiment and mathematics) 19
