Training objectives
- The aim of the course is to provide the student physics education methods and knowledge finalized to the high school learning objectives. At the end of the course, the student has to be able to project teaching units, to use learning strategies through traditional and modern teaching methodologies, to use different codes and channels of communication, to perform didactic experiments, to be able to evaluate knowledge and skills of the pupils.
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of Physics.
Course programme
- During the course, some part of Classical and Modern Physics will be taking into account, analysing traditional and innovative teaching methodologies. The crucial point of these areas will be studied:
-Experimental Methods, Physics quantities (2 h)
-Classical Mechanics (9 h)
-Thermodynamics (8 h)
-Electromagnetism (9 h)
-Relativity (8 h)
-Quantum Mechanics (9 h)
-Particle Physics (3 h)
A session will be devoted to the Physics Laboratory: features of teaching Physics in lab, different types of lab and technologies. The practice session is dedicated to didactic experiments, data analysis and discussion of the results. Different instruments will be used (simple materials and didactic kit) to compare the didactic aspects and potential. Didactic methods
- Lectures and practice sessions.
Learning assessment procedures
- The examination consists in an oral test in which the student will present a report on two teaching units.
Reference texts
- Slides and handouts.
