Teaching and learning quantum mechanics:
Welcome to QuantumDidactics.net
On this website you can find articles, theses, conference papers and other resources presenting research into the teaching and learning of quantum mechanics.
The purpose of this website is to make it easier for physics education researchers and quantum mechanics teachers to find relevant information on research into teaching and learning quantum mechanics.
Anyone is welcome to search and read the titles and abstracts uploaded here. However, to minimize maintainance work, you will have to register in order to add comments or tag papers with searchable keywords. Registration is completely free, and your e-mail will not be disclosed to others.
So far, this website is in an experimental stage. Please let me know if you have suggestions for improving the web site.

A random paper on QuantumDidactics.net:
Arts Students and Quantum Theory in an Open University History of Science Course
In an Open University history of science course a unit was written to provide basic information on quantum theory for students with arts and social science backgrounds. This was necessary to enable these students to handle the Bohr-Einstein debate. Detailed evaluation of the unit with a sample of students showed that it achieved its purpose even though there were aspects which some students found difficult. The effectiveness of the unit was borne out in the assignment performance of the sample.
