Workshop Physics Teacher Education and Professional Learning Workshop

Speaker

Smadar Levy

Description

This workshop will consist of: a) a hands-on experience with the Newton's Laws game, following the Phys-Cards design principles: a summative activity to help students organize what they have learned and connect externally different scenarios with the underlying physics principles (similar to the “Circular Motion” game presented at GIREP 2023); b) a “bird’s eye” view: results covering three years’ experience with four Phys-Cards games implemented in a national network of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) for high school physics teachers (~300 teachers). We will discuss the teachers' perspectives on the benefits and challenges involved in classrooms implementation.
