Magnetic Field Mental Representations of 15-16 Year Old Students

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 0, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

The study of students mental representations of Natural Sciences concepts and phenomena constitutes a central part of Physics Education research, as they play a decisive role in teaching. In the study presented here, we investigate 112 15-16 years old students mental representations of the magnetic field, after they were taught about it in school. The empirical data was gathered through an interview using 3 tasks which involved the evaluation of actual or hypothetical situations. The research data included mental representations that cause difficulty in the comprehension of the properties of the magnetic field.

In this paper, we investigate the stability problem in the spirit of Hyers-Ulam, Rassias and Gavruta for the quadratic functional equation: f(2x + y) + f(2x - y) = 2f(x + y) + 2f(x - y) + 4f(x) - 2f(y) in 2-Banach spaces...
