Learning outcomes
Main topic is problematics associated with pedagogic practise. Students exercise preparation of lessons, selection of expressing means (aids) and practise common methods of teaching Physics, with emphasis on laboratory work. Problematics of directing of individual work of students is following topic of the seminar. Another important topic is regulation and autoregulation, for achievement of teaching goals as well as evaluation of didactics tests.
The students obtain complex view on problem of physics education in basic school and secondary school (marginally). The students obtain practical skill of education thematic unit.
Prerequisites
