This volume is based on a NATO Advanced Research Workshop in the Special Programme on Advanced Educational Technology. The objective of the workshop was to bring together researchers producing software in the field of electricity education, and more generally in physics education, and researchers involved in the connection between cognitive science andthe learning of a well defined domain such as electricity. The book is divided into five main parts: - New approaches to teaching electricity: research on the teaching of electricity has shown that traditional presentations should be questioned....

The objective of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop "Learning electricity and electronics with advanced educational technology" was to bring together researchers coming from different domains. Electricity education is a domain where a lot of research has already been made. The first meeting on electricity teaching was organized in 1984 by R. Duit, W. Jung and C. von Rhoneck in Ludwigsburg (Germany). Since then, research has been going on and we can consider that the workshop was the successor of this first meeting. Our goal was not to organize a workshop grouping only people producing...
