Course objectives
The course is designed as a final summary of the course of general and theoretical physics with didactic projections in school physics. The aim is to provide both insight and sufficient insight, based on the awareness of integrating physical ideas, knowledge of general approaches and understanding of the broader context. Interpretation is based on partial knowledge of physical disciplines, without reiterated details. It also includes an analysis of the issue of testing circuits final examinations in physics and didactics of physics. Objectives: Trivia: systematized basic concepts of physics; Skills: use of physical concepts, laws, theories in solving complex problems, including their communication Attitudes: ownership based on their own knowledge and skills
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should know and know:
• Systematize physical knowledge; to create a holistic picture of the interconnectedness of individual parts physics
• apply integrative physical ideas to the didactic transformation of content into school curriculum,
• address physical problems in wider and interdisciplinary contexts.
Syllabus
  • 1. Experiment as a tool for physical research and teaching.
  • 2. Development of classical physics to quantum and relativistic picture of nature.
  • 3. Integrating the concepts of physics (force, energy, interactions etc.) and their educational use in the classroom
  • 4. Questions of development of physical knowledge of the universe.
  • 5. Preparation of a didactic test in physics

Teaching methods
seminar, presentation of student outputs, discussion
Assessment methods
Each student will demonstrate a sample solution of physical examples with a discussion of point evaluation. Examples choose from   Physical Olympiad. The numbers of examples are:
a) credit : 3 examples of high school level and 3 examples of high school / level G
b) colloquium : 4 examples of secondary school level and 4 examples of secondary school / G level
Upon exit, the student will demonstrate:
a) credit : only 2 examples of high school level and 2 examples of high school / level G
b) colloquium : only 3 examples of secondary school level and 3 examples of secondary school / G level
