Description

The role of quantum physics in the high school curriculum has been emphasized recently. However, the curricular documents cannot bring a complete picture of incorporating quantum physics into the school reality. In this paper, we present a quantitative questionnaire for high school physics teachers as a research tool for investigating the current state of teaching quantum physics at high schools around the Czech Republic in more details. Collecting responses from 263 teachers, we found that 79% of them dedicate to quantum physics in their teaching. In further research, we focus on outlining the typical teaching time, teaching goals, topics, etc.
