Description
In the physical sciences, today digital data acquisition (DDA) tools play a core role in empirically testing complex theoretical models. However, the integration of DDA into physics teaching remains infrequent, mainly because many teachers lack the professional skills to use these digital tools in classrooms. To address this challenge, we designed a long-term teacher professional development program (TPDP) consisting of five cumulative units, covering the basics of DDA systems and giving teachers the opportunity to practice the use of DDA tools in their own classes. Our submission provides insights into the TPDP’s design, including preliminary results of our accompanying research.
