Abstract

Nanotechnology is an innovative scientific field with widely documented educational value at all levels of education. This work is based on the Model of Educational Reconstruction and it concerns the implementation of a teaching experiment on size-dependent optical properties of nanomaterials. The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning processes of undergraduate students of chemistry, physics and biology departments. Analysis of the results revealed six learning processes for size-dependent optical properties at the nanoscale that exhibited both continuous and discontinuous conceptual reconstructions.
