This book is invaluable for teachers and students in high school and junior college who struggle to understand the principles of modern physics and incorporate scientific methods in their lessons. It provides interactive and multidisciplinary approaches that will help prepare present and future generations to face the technological and social challenges they will face. Rather than using a unidirectional didactic approach, the authors - scientists, philosophers, communication experts, science historians and science education innovators - divide the book into two parts; the first part, “Cultural Diffusion-Relevant Aspects On Physics Research”, examines how new physics developments affect modern culture, while the second part, “Physics Education Research and Digital Challenges”, covers physics education research using ICT, plus the experiences of classroom teachers and a range of ideas and projects to innovate physics and STEM teaching.

“The book is structured in two distinctive sections on modern physics topics and the latest information and communication technologies (ICTs) for classrooms. … New Challenges and Opportunities in Physics Education emerges as a valuable resource for a diverse audience. It is a guidebook for educators searching for innovative strategies to spice up their physics teachings or to better weave modern science into their lessons.” (CERN Courier, cerncourier.com, May 4, 2024)
