Learning outcomes
The difference between Physics as an aducational subject and Physics as a Science is presented in this subject. Students familiarise themselves with principles of teaching Physics on Primary and Secondary schools. Importance of selection of topics, methods and teaching aids (models, books, computers etc.) is stressed.
The students obtain basic knowledge from didactics of physics and practical skill necessary for everyday use.
