Abstract

Spectroscopy is a fundamental and a professionalizing content for biotechnology students. In particular, optical spectroscopy represents an important link between physical optics, its main applications and its atomic-molecular interpretations. After a teaching intervention concerning physical optics, a laboratorybased activity, carried out with optical goniometer, was conducted with freshmen in biotechnology in the context of their physics course at Udine University (IT). The study aims to monitor students’ reasoning and learning difficulties about the interpretation of discrete atomic spectra, so the activity was accompanied by a IBL tutorial and by a post-test inspired by the existing Physics Education Research literature. 56 students completed the tutorial, 45 of them competed the post-test. Here we report and discuss the results emerged from data analysis of the students’ written answers.
