Description

Physics Education is strongly related to moral and ethical issues, the role of scientists in the society, as well as with Active Citizenship. Thus, in teaching Physics, the conceptualization of war and the advancement and establishment of peace, worldwide, are both central issues. This proposed Discussion Workshop (of the GIREP Thematic Group “Physics and Society”), invites participants and contributions about: teaching nuclear energy, teaching the destructive results of weapons, teaching and learning the moral and ethical role of physicists as scientists, teaching about the distribution of resources worldwide as a cause for war, as well as other possible topics.
