An experience of innovative learning with multimodal teaching techniques in nuclear physics education in Italy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Despite significant recent advances in applied nuclear physics (NP) research, the teaching of these topics in high schools has remained largely unchanged and often marginal. We have developed an educational pathway on NPs for high school students that combines active innovative methodologies including puzzles, questionnaires, inclusive teaching, and an inquiry-based learning approach. The content is presented differently from traditional textbooks and established practices. To evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, we implemented the activity in a final-year high school class (13th grade) composed of low-performing students. We present the outcomes of oral examinations, written tests, and satisfaction surveys.
