| Aims of the course | The objective of the course is to enable students to adapt the classical methods of teaching and learning physics to the new and changing needs that they impose: the achievements of cognitive science, the results of the research that have led to the enrichment of learning and learning methods, impressive development of science and technology, based on modern technologies, especially on new possibilities of visualization, contemporary living conditions, social environment, possibilities of communication and dissemination of knowledge through information technologies ... | |||||||||
| Learning outcomes | The acquired knowledge will enable the student to adapt in teaching practice the methods of teaching physics and work with students in the profile / type of school in which they work, the level of knowledge of students and the conditions in which they live and learn, the needs of cooperation and interaction with teachers of other subjects, the needs of students related to the continuation of their education. | |||||||||
