I am working in the problems in Mechanics Education (School Level) for about 35 years. You will get some idea of my work in the Discussion Post, on this site, in the discussion forum of Lord Martin Rees, title: Future of Physics and Astronomy, 20193. I was inspired by the philosophy of Prof. Dennis W. Sciama, expressed in his book. See my Letter, in his memory, in COSPAR IB 152, Dec. 2001. I think starting a discussion on Mechanics Education would be useful.

I think that's a fantastic idea. Go for it!

Recently the Royal Society of London made available the original, hand-written anecdote of apple's fall on Newton's head, on the internet. So presently, it is a hot topic of discussion on many websites. My own research in physics education is concerned with that anecdote and have contributed on many of them recently. For example, New Scientist, a well known weekly from London. Please visit the following link to see my comment of 25th January.

My comment dated: 02-June-2012
Dennis Sciama says that Newton's laws of motion are logically incomplete and this situation leads to leads to the General Relativity of Einstein (see the preface of his book - Physical Foundations of General Relativity). But the research in physics education (spanning last 50 years) shows that logical incompleteness has not been completely understood and hence there are some chronic / global problems in teaching/learning basic physics - like the circular motion. Persistence of Aristotelian thinking among graduates of physics is one such problem and has been reported in some leaders as well. More over, according to a Letter of Anthony P. French (Am. J. Phys., Jan. 1984) Newton forgot his laws of motion, when he was 60+, and hinted at reconsideration of Aristotelian ideas. I think working on this information is essential for reshaping "teaching/learning" general relativity.
