QuVis simulations in Czech - translation and utilization in pre-service physics teacher course

Abstract

The collection of QuVis simulations is based on research on frequent student difficulties, and their design and effectiveness have been also verified. The concept of these simulations fits very well into our undergraduate Introductory Course of Quantum Physics for pre-service physics teachers. However, due to the simulations being in English, we recognized the language barrier as an obstacle for some students when working independently with them. Moreover, we believe that a solid grasp of Czech terminology is important for future teachers. These reasons led us to translate 20 simulations into Czech. To further enhance the collection, we are developing thematic worksheets that feature tasks using the selected simulations alongside tasks that are solved without their use. Up to now, we have published five worksheets focusing on measurement in quantum physics.
