Designing and Evaluating Relativity Lab: A Simulation Environment for Special Relativity Education at the Secondary Level

Abstract: This article describes the design and evaluation of a simulation environment for special relativity (SR) education at the secondary level. In recent years, SR has become increasingly popular in secondary school curricula worldwide. Because the key concepts in SR are very remote from everyday experience, they are difficult for students to learn. Computer simulations provide a promising approach to explore these abstract concepts in a simplified and idealized virtual environment. The currently available simulati… Show more

“…Attempting to harness this energy within the formal educational system, we introduced Research Enabling Game-Based Education (ReGAME), which extends the inquiry-based science education approach by embedding unsolved research challenges into the core curriculum 9 . The goal is to inspire students struggling academically with relatable content and challenge high achievers to explore beyond their grade level.…”

“…Today, teachers and educators embrace opportunities to teach modern physics topics in schools: they can choose from a growing number of learning resources, lesson plans, and professional development programmes (e.g. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]). These resources and programmes are often developed by education and public outreach teams of large-scale physics collaborations or institutes that connect cutting-edge physics with curriculum content.…”
