Gothenburg Post-doc UW, Seattle + Oxford (78-80) Teaching first-year engineering physics students, 100-120 students Using FCI, pre-post Peer instruction, using "poor man's clickers" = colored papers in large lecture hall + supervising CUL - students. Teachers combining school work with PhD studies ICPE - International Commission of Physics Education Chair: Pratibha Jolly, India (Girep, Reims, 2010) Elena Sassi, Napoli, ICPE-member: Distinguish between: Physics Physics Education Physics Education Research Object of study? Pupils - different age groups Student teachers University students Teachers - professional development Scholarship of teaching and learning Didactics for Physicists? Methods and tools that can be used directly Conceptual understanding Nature of science Outreach ... Something the cat brought in ...? FND, 16-17 nov, Kristianstad -Round-table discussion, Teacher educators in physics Vilken kunskap behöver blivande lärare få möjlighet att utveckla under sin utbildning? Vilka krav ställer detta på lärarutbildningen? Skolämnet fysik är något annat än den akademiska disciplinen. T.ex. behandlas i skolans kursplaner fysikens relation till samhället i övrigt och fysikens bidrag till ställningstagande i samhällsfrågor. Vilken fysik bör man fokusera på i lärarutbildningen? Diskuteras perspektiv på fysikämnet och i så fall vilka? Filosofiska och vetenskapsteoretiska perspektiv? Sociologiska perspektiv? Historiska Students' competencies of an adequate understanding of measurement uncertainties Julia Glomski and Burkhard Priemer German education standards: analyse data document results assess the validity Develop normative model, various levels of competence + standardized test instrument Nature of Science authentically, explicity and reflexively in a science lab for school students Stefan Uhlmann and Burkhard Priemer Experimental work at school and at research inst. Communicating with scientists: physics content and ways of gaining knowledge See, discuss, learn about real scientific experiments 200 pupils, age 16-18 Using complexity thinking and network theory in Modeling of Higher Education Student Trajectories in Physics and Engineering Physics Jonas Forsman Challenge - students drop out - why ? Complex network of causes and influences Attitudes, identity, social situation. Aim for non-linear model of student retention So far, no account of students pre-knowledge (or knowledge formation) Making meaning in physics in relation to attaining fluency in diciplinary discourse: From exoplanets to semiotic resources in the astronomy learning environment. Urban Eriksson Lic astronomi + finish in Phys. Ed. Research Building on John Airey's work on representations What is the importance of teacher enthusiasm? ownership of the content? What challenges do you see in sharing your enthusiasm? What representations do you expect to be important?
