Description

Physics teaching widely varies in strategy and content in addressing various populations of students at their level, goals, interests. We have developed a new approach to the structure of physics course which is appropriate for broad range of levels and goals. It implies a universal demand of identification knowledge items, the structure of a theory based knowledge. The curriculum should represent Nucleus, Body and Periphery of the theory. It is the latter that makes knowledge cultural. We illustrate by a summary lecture in school mechanics which demonstrated significant impact on students’ knowledge, its holistic perception and nature.
