Main objectives can be summarized as follows: to analyze the items of grammar school physics; to discuss critically frequent textbook treatments; to suggest and to judge alternative treatments.
Syllabus
  • 1. Basic requirements of a textbook (correctness, adequacy in precision and completeness, appropriateness, understandability, clearness, proportionality; technical quality)
  • 2. Role of textbook in grammar-school tuition of physics (complement, guidance, support, standard; individual study; critical analysis of a text)
  • 3. Mechanics (the history of the discipline, its contemporary state, the development of its textbook presentation, the selection and the sequencing of items, analysis of the physical and pedagogical defects, alternative treatments).
  • 4. Molecular and Thermal Physics (the history of the discipline, its contemporary state, the development of its textbook presentation, the selection and the sequencing of items, analysis of the physical and pedagogical defects, alternative treatments).
  • 5. Mechanical Vibrations and Waves (the history of the discipline, its contemporary state, the development of its textbook presentation, the selection and the sequencing of items, analysis of the physical and pedagogical defects, alternative treatments).
