Mano Singham, in his POD post titled "Re: Concept questions for
advanced level physics courses," wrote:
"Your colleague won't go far wrong with anything that has been done
by Arnold Arons. Although Arons did not deal exclusively with modern
physics, see
<http://www.wiley.com/college/math/phys/cg/sales/arons/arons.html>
for a description of a book that deals with how to teach introductory
physics and has a whole suite of problems and questions. There may be
other books by him too. In my opinion, Arons is far and away the
most thoughtful person I know on how to teach conceptual thinking in
physics."
I enthusiastically agree with Mano. For more on the late great
Arnold Arons see "The Arons Advocated Method " [Hake (2004)].
