Opis

Aimed at new and trainee physics teachers particularly non-specialists, this book provides the knowledge and skills you need to teach physics effectively at secondary level. It provides the historical narrative of the Big Ideas in physics, explaining the significance of each idea and its place in scientific history. Each Big Idea comes with a set of lesson activities that get your students to think alongside clear explanations of how they can be used. It also discusses the models used to explain complex ideas and suggests methods of assessing learning. Including a wide range of teaching strategies, this book will help you to become a skilled physics teacher who gets great results.

Recenzje

"The book is brilliant. I hope all physics teacher trainers and trainees, as well as established teachers, use this critically important work to guide their teaching." - John Sweller, Emeritus Professor at the School of Education, The University of New South Wales, Australia

"This book is both fascinating and highly practical, with a blend of narrative and examples, of words, pictures and numbers, and of subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. It is not just a useful guide to teaching physics, but an exemplar of how to teach any complex concept." - Daisy Christodoulou, Director of Education, No More Marking, UK

"There is a lot of good advice in this book, not just on how to do something and what to look out for but also on why it is important. The recommendations for further reading at the end of each chapter are also good." - Miriam Chaplin, School Science Review
