FY807: Teachers Training lab-course
Comment
Entry requirements
Academic preconditions
- Have knowledge of the contents of the the Bachelor's degree in physics or comparable courses.
Course introduction
The
course builds on the knowledge acquired in the previous courses in the
physics curriculum and gives a theoretical, didactic and pedagogical
basis for including teaching experiments.
The course is necessary to qualify to teach physics in high school.
In relation to the competence profile of the degree it is the explicit focus of the course to:
- Include physical experiments in a teaching situation.
- Apply physical experiments to support the theoretical review.
- Include theoretical, didactic and pedagogical considerations in physical experiments.
- To get the most out of physical experiments in relation to the given teaching situation.
Expected learning outcome
The learning objective of the course is that the student demonstrates the ability to:
- Include
an experimental setup, demonstrate its impact and its opportunities in
respect to high school curriculum and suggest different experiments
within the specific physical topic. - Develop instructions that make students able to conduct the physical experiment optimally.
- Guide students in understanding the theoretical background for the experiment.
- Guide students in uncertainty calculations
- Include theoretical, didactic and pedagogical considerations in relation to the experiments.
Content
- Involvement of classroom demonstrations as a learning tool.
- Laboratory work and laboratory safety.
- Preparation of experiment instructions.
- Didactics and learning theories.
- Uncertainty calculations

Teaching Method
At the faculty of science, teaching is organized after the three-phase model ie. intro, training and study phase.
The course is divided into three sections, where the content of the first section and the second section are included in the third section. The first section deals with classroom demonstrations and their significance as a learning tool. The second section discusses guidelines for instructions to specific experiments and the third section couples the first two sections in a written product that forms the basis for the oral exam. In addition, the course includes lectures on didactics, learning theories, laboratory safety and uncertainty calculations.
- Thorough study of a self-selected topic.
- Unassisted work with the experiment.
- Development of an experiment instruction as a basis for the oral exam.
