Despite on-going efforts to improve physics education through training of pre-service teachers, significant challenges remain. However, in this work we report the development of Malaysian pre-service physics teachers training that is based on the German Didaktik tradition. One of the models in this tradition is the didaktik analysis in that it involves a thorough analysis of specific science content as contained in curriculum specifications and textbooks; analysis of literature on students alternative conceptions; developing a lesson plan; developing teaching sequences within that lesson plan that involve teaching and learning activities, and subsequent reflection; and enacting the lesson plan and associated teaching sequencing in microteaching, and in the practicum. Overall it seems the introduction of didaktik analysis-based intervention led to a better and deeper understanding of physics and methods course content; and the teaching practices in the microteaching and practicum, both of which gave confidence to teach secondary school physics.
