Abstract

Experts recommend that contemporary physics topics should be added to the middle and high school physics curriculum.

Highlights

  • In the last decade, there has been a growing attempt to introduce topics of modern science and technology into secondary school science education [1]

  • This research is based on work done by Sakhnini and Blonder, who conducted a Delphi study to identify the essential concepts of nanoscale science and technology (NST) for secondary education [4]

  • This collection process eventually reached a level of saturation when the new connections added by each discourse were 5%–10% of all the connections given in the discourse. Reaching this point indicated to the researchers that the set of insertion points had been completed, allowing the data collecting process to end. In this part we present the results of collected insertion points from the 12 interviews conducted with NST scientists in the framework of the middle school physics curriculum

Summary

Introduction

There has been a growing attempt to introduce topics of modern science and technology into secondary school science education [1]. Nanoscale science is considered a good candidate as a contemporary topic to be integrated into school science teaching. This is due to its interdisciplinary nature and relevance to many curricular topics [2]. This research is based on work done by Sakhnini and Blonder, who conducted a Delphi study to identify the essential concepts of nanoscale science and technology (NST) for secondary education [4].
