Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Seminar to the didactics of physics:
- Educational objective, legitimation and conception of physics education
- Competence models and standard definitions
- Demonstration of finding and working methods in physics
- Pupils' ideas and typical learning difficulties
- Interest in physics education
- Experiments in physics education (objective, types, didactical potential, devices used in school, safety)
- Handling of media and presentation in physics education
- Tasks of a teacher regarding pedagogical-didactical aspects
Practical block course:
- school subject
- training in teaching
Learning Outcome
After the successful participation at the module the student is able to:
- apply elementary knowledge about central fields in physics didactics
- develop suitable teaching approaches, concepts and methods
- stimulate interest in physics education
- prepare physics topics for school in an educational objective and pupil orientated manner
- handle devices and educational material commonly used in school
- know the tasks of a school teacher and to estimate the initial situation and the learning difficulties of pupils
- know methods for controlling the learning effects of pupils
- prepare lessons with the help of the supervising teacher
- estimate their own qualification and tendency to the teaching profession in a realistic manner

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
Each participant has to do following tasks (total time 20 to 40 minutes) in order to prove that she /he has understood the fundamentals of didactics in physics and that she/he is able to apply this knowledge in selected examples:
Lecture: simulations in physics education, demonstration and discussion of a free-hand experiment
Partner lecture: pupil imaginations
Group work: educational objectives in physics education
The practical block course has to be carried out to the full extent (15 days) and the tasks given by the supervising teacher have to be done satisfactorily (especially during the 50 lessons).
Current exam dates
Currently TUMonline lists the following exam dates. In addition to the general information above please refer to the current information given during the course.
