TEACHING AND LEARNING OF PHYSICS IN CULTURAL CONTEXTS
Proceedings of the International Conference on Physics Education in Cultural Contexts
Cheongwon, South Korea 13 - 17 August 2001

edited by Yunebae Park (Kyungpook National University, South Korea)

The aims of the International Conference on Physics Education in Cultural Contexts were to explore ways towards convergent and divergent physics learning beyond school boundaries, improve physics education through the use of traditional and modern cultural contexts, and exchange research and experience in physics education between different cultures.

A total of 45 papers have been selected for this volume. The material is divided into three parts: Context and History, Conceptual Changes, and Media.

The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:

  • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)
