Book Title:
Teaching High School Physics: On the Nature of Physics Teaching (3-volume set)
Book Type: Professional
Subject: Education
Author(s):
• Rebecca Vieyra, American Assoctiation of Physics Teachers K-12 Program Manager
• Carl Wenning, Illinois State University Physics Department
Est. Publication Date (subject to change): May 2020
Summary: This book, co-published with the American Academy of Physics Teachers (AAPT) addresses the role of
educational research, teaching philosophies, and scientific epistemology as a foundation for good physics teaching and
places a strong emphasis on learning by inquiry. The authors’ Levels of Inquiry Model of Science Teaching serves as a basis
for many of the examples provided.
Series Summary:
Written by physics teachers for physics teachers, Teaching High School Physics, Volumes I, II, and III, provide the dual
perspectives of a highly experienced physics teacher educator with a distinguished high school physics teacher. A mix of
theory and practice, this series provides rigorous and systematic treatment of more than 40 important topics. While
intended to serve as a textbook for teacher candidates, this series is suitable for even experienced in-service physics
teachers who seek a reference guide to the many topics being addressed in today’s teaching reform movements.
Teaching High School Physics is based on the premise that teachers need to be educated rather than “trained” to do their
jobs effectively. This belief permeates the series and helps to form substantive and substantiated belief systems that will
serve as the underpinnings for a new way to teach. The series promotes an inquiry-oriented approach to physics teaching
and provides a wide array of resources for doing so.
Readership:
• Primary: Prospective high school physics teachers and candidates and current physics teachers.
• Secondary: Physics teacher educators.
Offers:
• A solid philosophical and practical foundation and focuses on the nature of teaching physics.
