Theory of Relativity - How to Develop Its Understanding at a Secondary School Level

Abstract

This article presents first conclusions from the research of available literature concerning both special and general relativity with the intention to use the findings in making a Czech study text that would allow interested upper-secondary school students (students for short) and also graduates a clear basic understanding of relativity. The goal was to identify common themes and crucial topics in textbooks and answer some theoretical questions that arose prior to the research.
