Nicholas Edward Schlotter,
Not necessarily .. I 'm pointing 1) distortions of the community about assesment that may deviate from the essence 2) stating a situation with accuracy which many may omit that is happening and thus bypass or not get sensitized to improve 3) pointing to a potential mispractice that has reprersussions in the learning outcomes at university and even research progress because as it is known, that students learn up to 16 (i.e. mindset, stances toward something, weight they put on things) stays with them forever
Nonsensical answer. Mathematics is the language of quantum mechanics and assessing a student's understanding is part of demonstrating learning.
Nicholas Edward Schlotter,
You are being inaccurate, misreading the question and the essense of inquiry.
I said: "highly mathematized," never implied to take out mathematics, that is ridiculus. Highly mathematized for this level of learning, i.e. high school has consequences because early learning has conceptual understanding as priorities. physics becomes mathematically dominated later one and this is a distortion professors impose on students because they are at that level and forget that other levels exist and may be more important for earlier stages of learning
Mr Nicholas Edward Schlotter,
Science is based on proofs and critical thinking, so I would expect the scientific community to not interpret my thesis as such but as a genuine concern and constructive feedback.
If you (and the community itself) consider I troll the scientific community, then the scientific community should better apologize for its laziness in its pedagogical approach, that is in making the at least 3 step learning process a commulative final step (mathematized skills mastery) for lack of in depth consideration of the learning process that they themselves progressed through (so no excuse).
Probably talking past each other since I don't really understand what you are getting at. Mathematics is the accurate language for describing physics. Attempts to use words are often incomplete and inaccurate. It is not about laziness in pedegogy. I am at the university level, but even high school physics needs math.
Mr Nicholas Edward Schlotter,
The term "highly mathematized" does not imply the removal of mathematics from physics education. Instead, it addresses the potential consequences of prioritizing mathematical manipulation over conceptual understanding, especially in early learning stages.
While mathematical precision is crucial for predictions and theoretical development, it should not overshadow the importance of establishing a strong conceptual foundation.The notion that "science is incompatible with the use of words" is countered by the necessity of precise definitions in scientific discourse. Galileo emphasized the importance of defining terms like "position" to ensure clarity and avoid ambiguity.
Consider Newton's second law, F=maF=ma. While it can be interpreted as a definition of force, where force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration, this interpretation is not without its limitations. Oliver Massin argues that this definition does not apply to all forces in Newtonian Mechanics, particularly component forces. Component forces combine vectorially to produce resultant forces, indicating that mathematical formulations alone may not fully capture the complexities of force interactions.
