Abstract:
This paper presents the experimental approach and an example of using conceptual maps as a method based on constructivist mode of learning, teaching, research and evaluation knowledge quantum physics, namely, the photoelectric effect. Understanding the photoelectric effect is a crucial step as one of the most famous examples of the corpuscular nature of light, which led to the development of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century, and whose explanation is still the standard in teaching physics at the high school. The paper also presents the verification of Einstein`s theory and determination of Planck`s constant using the photoelectric effect. Conceptual maps, learning materials and online assessment tests are available to students on a collaborative space specifically designed for this task.
