Facilitating model-building of electrostatics concepts related to conductors
written by
Ryan L. C. Hazelton, Peter S. Shaffer, and Paula R. L. Heron
We have been conducting a long-term investigation at the University of Washington into student difficulties with electrostatics concepts, involving students at both the introductory and upper-division level. An important finding is that standard instruction through lecture and textbook does not provide students with a coherent conceptual model that is sufficient to understand the behavior of conductors. We have identified specific difficulties and developed worksheets for both Tutorials in Introductory Physics and Tutorials in Physics on the electric properties of conductors. This paper demonstrates that a teaching strategy designed to help students construct a model for conductors can significantly improve student understanding, at both the introductory and junior levels.
