Description

This study explores the views of leading physicists, other scientists, physics teachers from upper secondary schools, and physics teacher educators regarding the physics curriculum. We administered a questionnaire based on previous qualitative research. Only in a few cases the evaluations by other groups of respondents were statistically significantly different from those by leading physicists (indices encouragement and modern physics branches). We also did not identify a reasonable difference between teachers who knew they commented on physicists’ ideas and those who did not. Thus, there is a strong consensus among the investigated groups on what the physics curriculum should be.
