DESCRIPTION
ReleQuant develops digital, research-based learning resources in general relativity and quantum physics for upper secondary physics. Practicing physics teachers as well as physics teacher students are included in the project through ReleQuant Competence https://www.forskningsradet.no/prosjektbanken/#!/project/246723/en .
ReleQuant combines:
- development of digital learning resources
- research on pupils' learning processes and motivation in physics
- research on how the collaboration develops competence in the involved practitioner groups: teacher students, teachers and researchers
