Abstract

In the mentored work on their subject specialisation, students link high-school and university aspects of the subject, thus strengthening their teaching competence with regard to curriculum decisions and the future development of the tuition. They compile texts under supervision that are directly comprehensible to the targeted readers - generally specialist-subject teachers at high-school level.

Objective

Practice in the explanation of complex topics in physics as the core competence of the teaching profession Improvement of the physics education by providing attractive recent topics with regard to future curricular decisions and the public view of physics
