Arnold Arons is widely regarded as one of the leaders in physics teaching and in physics education research. He is a past president of the AAPT and a recipient of its Oersted Medal. His two previous book for Wiley broke new ground in bringing emerging insights into the teaching and learning of physics to teachers of introductory physics at both college and high school levels.Teaching Introductory Physics is a combination of the previous Guide to Introductory Physics Teaching, and Homework and Test Questions for Introductory Physics Teaching. Both works have been edited to incorporate suggestions and feedback received after the first publication. Added to this combination is a monograph intended to illustrate how certain misleading aspects, widely prevalent in existing text presentations, can be rectified in introductory teaching of the energy concepts.
This is not a textbook for class use in introductory physics (although the third part could be incorporated into an ongoing course at calculus physics level as a section on the classical conservation laws). This is intended as a guide and resource for active teachers at college and high school level. It could be a textbook for a course on physics education for students who have the necessary prior background in physics. It has been used in training and development workshops for high school physics teachers.
