Description
This contribution is focused on the physics curriculum for upper secondary schools. We present the results of longitudinal research whose methodology is inspired by an objectivist grounded theory approach. Our research is based especially on the ideas of the leading Czech physicists obtained from in-depth interviews. The original group of physicists and other stakeholders (other natural scientists, physics teachers, and physics teacher educators) expressed their opinions on the ideas in the subsequent questionnaire. Factor analysis shows general agreement among stakeholders. The research will continue among other stakeholders (engineers, secondary school students, etc.).
