Course description:
On the history of physics teaching,
its "initial and boundary conditions", physics in the primary school. Characteristics
of physics teaching in the secondary school, its structure and main principles.
Physics teaching in other countries. Teaching thermal physics. The development
of model construction and its application in teaching statistical physics.
Games with statistical models, decision making games. Application of computers
in teaching statistical physics. The micro- and macrostructure of the teaching
process, algorithmization, the prototype of a classroom lesson on new material.
The possibility of motivation in the secondary school. The methods of physics
teaching, historical aspects. The significance of experiments by the teacher
and the pupils. Games and toys in physics teaching. Principles and special
methods of teaching mechanics. Computers in the approximate solutions of
the equation of motion. On celestial mechanics, model experiments. Application
of knowledge, in the special methods of laboratory measurements and in
problem solving classes, the model of the problem solving class. Forms
and contents of specialisation in the secondary school, the possibilities
and forms of nurturing gifted students in physics. Methods of control and
assessment, different levels of learning, measurements of the level of
knowledge in Hungary and abroad, experiences of international questionnaires.
The structure and special methods of the material of electricity and magnetism.
Optical experiments with lasers, making holograms in schools. The necessity
of repetition and systemisation, the methods of repetitive and systemizing
classes. On the collation of science subjects, experiences on integrating
science teaching in Hungary and abroad, the quantum-ladder. The structure
of the material of modern physics, special methods. The application of
models in the higher classes of secondary schools. Teaching atomic physics,
the possibilities of visualisation, demonstration experiments and measurements
by the pupils. Application of computers in teaching quantum-mechanics in
the secondary school. Experiments in nuclear physics, measurement of radiation,
solid state trace detectors. Alternatives in energy production aspects
of environment protection. Visualisation in teaching molecular physics.
Physics teaching out of the classroom, special classes. Material conditions
of physics teaching, lecture room, collection of laboratory tools.
