Problem-based structure for a teaching-learning sequence to overcome students’ difficulties when learning about atomic spectra

Research has highlighted difficulties experienced by students when studying quantum physics in introductory courses. In this paper, we present a teaching and learning sequence (TLS) aiming at introducing a quantum model of emission and absorption of radiation and we assess its impact on the students...
