Fisika pendidikan: ontologi — apa sifat realitas dan bagaimana alam semesta datang untuk menjadi?; dan Epistemologi — bagaimana kita tahu apa yang kita menuntut untuk mengetahui? Studi terbaru menunjukkan bahwa jalan fisika diajarkan untuk awal siswa mungkin memainkan peran nontrivial dalam kedua gigih bias gender dan menurunnya minat belajar fisika antara perguruan tinggi stu-penyok. Blickenstaff (2005) memeriksa 30 tahun penelitian pada ketidakseimbangan gender dalam fisika di Amerika Serikat dan menyimpulkan bahwa sifat ilmu pengetahuan dapat menjadi kontributor yang signifikan untuk apa yang disebut '' bocor pipa,'' dimana wanita memiliki tingkat gesekan yang lebih besar daripada laki-laki dalam fisika. Dalam sebuah studi hampir 4.000 siswa dari 34 dipilih secara acak American College dan Universitas, kurangnya pengidentifikasian diri dengan fisika adalah salah satu paling ampuh penegakan hukum belajar fisika, khususnya untuk anak perempuan (Hazari et al., 2010).The ongoing Relevance of Science Education (ROSE) project in Europe finds similarly negative attitudes toward school science among 15-year-old pupils in Northern Europe and the United Kingdom (Sjøberg & Schreiner, 2010), and towards physics in particular (Kessels, Rau, & Hannover, 2006). After surveying adolescents in this age group in 34 countries in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific Islands about their attitudes toward science and tech- nology, Schreiner and Sjøberg (2005) suggest that the perception of science as taught in schools may not be compatible with youth culture identity in contemporary Western societies and that perhaps young people perceive the identity of an engineer or a physicist as ‘‘incongruent with their own’’ (p. 13). Their survey also suggested that boys prefer topics such as explo- sives and machines, which figure prominently in the introductory physics curriculum with its heavy emphasis on Newtonian mechanics, while girls prefer topics relating to biology, health, ethical, aesthetic, and ‘‘New Age’’ concerns (Sjøberg & Schreiner, 2007).In a preliminary study (not yet published) I interviewed second graders in a public school in Santa Barbara, California, after they attended a physics demonstration show put on by students from the local university. I found that girls and boys were equally interested in the demonstrations, but when asked what they want to be when they grow up, the majority of boys responded with occupations that deal with adventure and high risk (e.g., swat team, fire fighter, super hero), while the girls responded with a wide range of occupations that included medicine, education, entertain- ment, and the arts. Introductory physics, with its emphasis on Newtonian mechanics, relies heavily on scenarios involving projectiles, collisions, ex- plosions, sports, machines, and military applications, which correlate with the adventure and high-risk occupations chosen by the boys I interviewed.Recent research suggests that topics from contemporary physics are equally of interest to girls and boys and thus may provide a more gender- neutral entry point for introductory physics. Sjøberg and Schreiner (2007) noted that both girls and boys reported equally high interest in studying
