Corso di laurea magistrale in Fisica

- Development of capability to reflect on the contents and to compare the  ideas of the high school students about the different arguments.

- Knowledge of the results of the research in physics education, of qualitative and quantitative methods and relationships with epistemology and pedagogy.
- Development of research from the study of mental representations of students in strategies that tend to enhance previous experiences and knowledge.

- To focus on the educational aspects of  many topics of classical and modern physics also with the help of high school teachers.
- Analyses of textbooks and educational materials (even simulations and animations) and experiments.
- To reflect on the importance of laboratory activities and their evaluations.

- State of the art and open problems in physics education and evaluation
- Knowledge of formal and informal contexts in the learning of physics and  the use of new technologies.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Knowledge of the primary results of the educational research in Physics.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Capability of identifying the fundamental conceptual points for the building of a Physics curriculum.

INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT
Development of the capability to reflect on the results of the research in physics education.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Fluency of the fundamental techniques in the teaching of Physics.

LEARNING SKILLS
Analyses of textbooks and educational materials published on international papers.

- The results of the research in physics education and relationships with epistemology and pedagogy.

- Educational and technological approaches in Physics teaching.

- The importance of laboratory activities and evaluations.

- Analyses of some articles published in international papers.

 - Comparison with ministerial goals and with different strategies to reach them.

 - Discussions with high school teachers.

 - Some new technologies for Physics learning and their utility

The material, present on theMoodle page of the teaching (attually the page for the a.a. 22-23), will be supplemented by recorded presentations to illustrate it.

Comparison and discussion can  take place in person during the course, through the forum, in wich all the students will have to partecipate, and through ongoing deliveries.

Online discussions with high school teachers on the main difficulties encountered by students in learning Physics will also be part of the course.

The total duration of the course is 48 hours, with approximately 16 hours committed to group projects.

The indications of the University will be followed both for any emergency situations and for students with learning difficulties

Students, who do not frequent the class, need planning the program with the teacher; they will in any case have to hand in all the tasks assigned during the course as 'in itinere' test and will also have to answer to a theoretical question on teaching methods and assesment, as well as present the lesson on the conceptual node. There are no variations for the on-line exam. Same specific indications are in the Moodle page
