This paper presents a proposal for an interdisciplinary curriculum for the training of science teachers. The curriculum offers four different degrees: science teacher for elementary school, biology teacher, physics teacher, and chemistry teacher for high school. The degree of science teacher can be obtained by completing the credits offered during the first three years of the course. In each subsequent year, it is possible to obtain the degrees for high school teaching in biology, physics, and chemistry. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in scientific knowledge and pedagogical skills that can be applied across different disciplines. During the first three years of the course all components related to natural sciences are taught together in an interdisciplinary manner. This approach aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of natural sciences as a whole before they specialize in their chosen field of study. In the fourth year of the course specific courses are offered in biology, physics, and chemistry to further develop students' expertise in their preferred area. These courses focus on deepening students' understanding of subject matter and preparing them specifically for teaching at high school level. Overall this interdisciplinary curriculum provides aspiring science teachers with a comprehensive education that combines theoretical knowledge with practical teaching skills. By offering multiple degrees within one program it allows students to specialize while also equipping them with broad understanding of natural sciences as a whole. This approach ensures that graduates are well-prepared to meet diverse needs of students and effectively teach science in both elementary and high school settings.

    Cooperative Problem Solving: an experience of high-school teaching updating
    Carlo Maria Carbonaro, Alessia Zurru, Viviana Fanti et al. · 2020 · Physics Education · AI summary available
    Abstract

    We present the results of an experience of teaching updating dispensed to Italian high-school physics teachers to promote the application of the Cooperative Problem Solving method as an useful strategy to improve physics learning at high-school level and to foster the development of problem solving skills. Beside analysing the method and discussing the ways to propose and apply it in a high-school context, the teachers experienced the method acting both as learners and as tutors of student group learners. Students and teachers evaluated as positive the experience, mainly focusing on cooperation within the group by information exchange and the application of a solution scheme. The ex-post ana…

    Lei Bao, Kai Fang, Tianfang Cai et al. · 2008 · Physics Education · AI summary available
    Abstract

    Student content knowledge and general reasoning abilities are two important areas in education practice and research. However, there hasn't been much work in physics education that clearly documents the possible interactions between content learning and the development of general reasoning abilities. In this paper, we report one study of a systematic research to investigate the possible interactions between students' learning of physics content knowledge and the development of general scientific reasoning abilities. Specifically, this study seeks to answer the research question of whether and to what extent content learning may affect the development of general reasoning abilities. College e…

    Blended learning: A data-literate science teacher is a better teacher
    Jozef Hanč, Dominik Borovský, Martina Hančová · 2023 · Physics Education · Not summarized yet
    Abstract

    The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of blended learning in contemporary physics and, more generally, STEM education. In this contribution, we summarize current pedagogical models of blended learning, such as rotational and flexible non-rotational models, and customizable configurations of physical and virtual learning spaces. With the inevitable integration of digital technology as one of the pillars of blended learning, teachers find themselves in an unprecedented position to not only obtain data more frequently but also analyze it and adjust instruction accordingly. Consequently, we discuss a crucial element of blended learning effectiveness: data management and usage. In …

    Il progetto Lab2Go per la diffusione della pratica laboratoriale nelle Scuole Secondarie di II grado
    Mirco Andreotti, Pia Astone, Donatella Campana et al. · 2021 · Physics Education · AI summary available
    Abstract

    Even if laboratory practice is essential for all scientific branches of knowledge, it is often neglected at High School, due to lack of time and/or resources. To establish a closer contact between school and experimental sciences, the University Sapienza of Roma and the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) launched the Lab2Go project, with the goal of spreading laboratory practice among students and teachers in high schools.

    Incorporating microlearning videos, online exercises and assessments into introductory physics
    Ché Netzer, Alexander Mittelstädt · 2021 · Physics Education · Not summarized yet
    Abstract

    We report on the evolution of the largest physics course at the Technical University Berlin during the COVID-19 pandemic, which boosted the development of online learning content, electronic assessments, and, not at least, the reconceptualization of our teaching methods. By shifting to distance education, we created features that can be easily implemented and combined with any physics-type course at a university level. Thereby, we incidentally made introductory physics sustainably accessible to students having difficulties visiting the university. Besides our experiences gained on blended learning methods, we provide a guide to online exercises, microlearning videos, and e-assessments, inclu…

    Learning-focuses in physics simulation learning situations
    Ake Ingerman, Cedric Linder, Delia Marshall · 2004 · Physics Education · AI summary available
    Abstract

    This is a report on a qualitative study of students' learning where a physics computer simulation session is used to supplement lectures on the topic. Drawing on phenomenography as the analytical framework, the students' learning-focuses were analysed. The result is a description of four distinctly different learning-focuses that emerged when the students involved in the study interacted with the computer simulations. These learning-focuses were then analysed in terms of the level of interaction, the nature of physics knowledge and views of learning experienced by the students. These results were then used to identify advantages and disadvantages of learning through interaction with simulati…
