Course objectives
The educational goals of the subject are basic knowledge with an understanding of all basic areas of physics didactics; then the basic reproductive skills of didactic transformation of physics knowledge with the skills of working with educational goals and teaching technology. Emphasis is placed on motivational teaching techniques.
Knowledge: Motivational techniques, types of physics tasks and school experiments.
Skills: Planning and implementation of teaching.
Attitudes: Adoption of individual approaches to pupils.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student should know and be able to:
understand the definition of physics didactics as a discipline that integrates knowledge from physics, pedagogy and pedagogical psychology,
implement the basic stages of the didactic transformation of physics content,
accept the didactics of physics as a key discipline in the professional training of a physics teacher.
