Detailed Investigation of Professional Physicists Solving Physics Tasks

摘要: It is assumed that research on expertise will help to understand what the difference of experts and novices are how can be transferred into experts. However, investigations about physicists develop apply their knowledge both well-known unfamiliar tasks domain rarely found. Such analyses would find out unique in experts’ might differ from our expectations act. To analyse use physics knowledge, a study with 18 German has been carried while these participants handled experiments. The detailed analysis processes occurring during treatment was supported by video documentation. On background constructivist theory main focus lies physicists’ development meanings, particular special skills ways dealing dimension time, content, complexity. Our findings solve bottom-up astonishing low levels They handle given instructions give explanations closely observed phenomena step step. Competence shown broad relating formulae laws (closely combining practice), judging criticising systematic searches for faults.
