Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Physics education research has revealed that pupils have a number of ideas about how physical systems behave even after they are instructed in Physics. These alternative conceptions are also existent in the field of geometrical optics and influence learning process often negatively. In this seminar different approaches to the instruction of optics are discussed.

Assessment and permitted materials

Portfolio

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Discussing research based instructional designs and strategies that integrate alternative conceptions about optics
Developing teaching modules for a certain target group based on these research results
Putting the planned teaching modules into practice, followed by in-class evaluation

Examination topics

Presentations, school visits in order to put developed teaching modules into practice
