Read it even if you fear that this goal is out of reach ? you may be surprised! Laurence Viennot shows ways to deal with the awkward fact that common sense thinking is often not the same as scientific thinking. She exposes frequent and widespread errors and misunderstandings, which provide a real eye-opener for the teacher.  More than that, she shows ways to avoid and overcome them. The book argues against over-emphasis on ?fun? applications, demonstrating that students also enjoy and value clear thinking. The book has three parts: ? Making sense of special scientific ways of reasoning (words, images, functions) ? Making connections between very different topics, each illuminating the other ? Simplifying, looking for consistency, and avoiding incoherent over-simplification  It offers a magnificent supply of insight and ideas, all of which can be put to use no matter what physics programme you teach. The examples provided in this book shed light on the processes of teaching and popularization of physics, from the high school to the early undergraduate level. "I recommend this book to all my colleagues engaged in teaching physics and other scientific disciplines, but also to students, future teachers and all those who take pleasure in understanding" Guy Aubert Emeritus Professor, Université Joseph Fourier, grenoble, France. 606 $aScience education 606 $aTeaching 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aScience Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O27000 606 $aTeaching and Teacher Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O31000 606 $aCondensed Matter Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25005 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005 615 0$aScience education. 615 0$aTeaching. 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aScience Education. 615 24$aTeaching and Teacher Education. 615 24$aCondensed Matter Physics. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 676 $a507.11 676 $a530.1 700 $aViennot$b Laurence$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$067847 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483994103321 996 $aThinking in Physics$92851957 997 $aUNINA
