Using metaphors in quantum physics to explore how affects students' perceptions

The goal is this case study is to present a theoretical framework explaning the role of using metaphors in Quantum Physics.The first step of this study was carried out with 21 third year students from the department of Teaching Physics. Ten open-ended questions about the quantum physics were used as a meusure and students? answers, through coding, were analyzed.As for the second step, 5 third year students chosen in the first step among the most successful students in same 10 open-ended questions to participate protocol. The metaphors and their effects that came out as a result of data analysis were compared and contrasted, and similarities and differences between students? perceptions were discussed.
