Savinainen, A.; Nieminen, P.; Makynen, A.; Viiri, J. – Physics Education, 2013
In this paper, we present materials and teaching ideas utilizing multiple representations in the contexts of kinematics and the force concept. These ideas and materials are substantiated by evidence and can be readily used in teaching with no special training. In addition, we briefly discuss two multiple-choice tests based on physics education…
