熱力学教育における概念形成について

Abstract

One of the reasons why not a few students fall into confusions in learning of thermedynamics is that they fail to understand exactly what situation is treated in each thesis of thermodynamics. In this paper, some thermodynamical concepts are analysed from the educational point of vew, taking the fundamental equation of thermodynamics as an example. And, in order to make clear the situation, the two concepts, that is, "quasistatical interaction" and "internal irreversible change" are introduced and the changes of a macroscopic system sorrounded by an environment are classified with these concepts.
