Oral presentation Innovative curricula for physics teaching, learning and assessment

Description

This contribution is focused on the physics upper secondary school curriculum. We present the results of longitudinal research whose methodology is inspired by an objectivist grounded theory approach. We conducted in-depth interviews focused on the physics curriculum with 29 leading Czech physicists and we identified 56 ideas they agreed on. Two years apart, the questionnaire survey based on the 56 ideas was held among the original group of the physicists, other scientists, physics education experts and physics teachers. All groups of respondents generally support physicists’ ideas that emphasize all curriculum orientations but the cognitive processes and the humanistic orientation most.
