狭义相对论学习中学生的错误理解研究概述

A review of students’ misunderstanding in learning special relativity

狭义相对论作为经典物理与近代物理的分水岭,对学生认识科学本质具有深远的影响.然而实际教学与研究显示,学生对狭义相对论存在许多错误理解.为了解决这一问题,本文梳理了国内外关于狭义相对论学习的相关研究.根据狭义相对论的知识框架,总结了学生在狭义相对论学习中普遍存在的错误理解,并分析其背后的原因,以期为未来狭义相对论的教学与研究提供借鉴.

Special relativity,which sets the boundary between classical and modern physics,can deeply influence students'understanding of the nature of the world.However,considerable students'misunderstanding related to this topic has been identified by a numbers of empirical studies and through teaching practices.In this paper,a systematic literature review is conducted on education research in special relativity.Students'common misunderstanding and the corresponding reasoning on key concepts of special relativity reviewed and summarized.The implications for future research and teaching are also discussed.
