Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to acquire clear knowledge and skills about the measurement technique used in schools. Emphasis is placed on the logical construction of this scientific discipline and on the acquisition of knowledge and skills needed for teaching physics at elementary school. Knowledge: Comprehensive overview of knowledge about measuring technology with an emphasis on the relationship of the material being discussed to practice, nature, household, technical applications, etc. Skills: Be able to select and use adequate measuring equipment. Perform a sufficient approximation based on basic physical laws and perform subsequent calculations of simple application examples. Know the basic measurement methods and the relationship of the discussed substance to practical applications. Be able to perform a qualified estimation of values. Attitudes: Acquire the values of objectivity and the importance of scientific work.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student should know and be able to: Basic knowledge of the measuring technique used in schools. Be able to adequately choose and use measuring methods and devices. Describe and perform simple experiments and the relationship of the discussed substance to practical applications. Perform calculations of simple application tasks.
