Abstract
In this chapter, the author describes why and how the ReleQuant learning resources were developed and what the people have found out about students' motivation, understanding, and learning by studying their work with the resources. Three categories of results are presented: results regarding the development process; results regarding students' understanding of quantum physics; and results regarding students' understanding of general relativity. Kersting et al. described the development of the general relativity learning resource and also presented results concerning students' understanding of concepts like the principle of equivalence and relativistic phenomena such as gravitational frequency shift and time dilation. The chapter presents empirically supported design principles for designing learning resources for general relativity in upper secondary school. The new curriculum retains general relativity and quantum physics, but with somewhat weaker emphasis on epistemological and philosophical implications.
