Physics Didactics I: Special Didactics of Physics Teaching
Fachdidaktik Physik I: Spezielle Didaktik des Physikunterrichts
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:07:13
Abstract
The course introduces the principles of subject-oriented didactics in physics: preparation of lectures, planing, boundary conditions, teaching methods, auxiliary materials, experiments, exercises, tests, use of different media
Objective
The students have the didactic basics for the physics lessons at a secondary school. They can plan and carry out their own lessons taking into account the diverse framework conditions. They reflect on their lessons and endeavour to further develop them didactically and pedagogically. The students know the application possibilities, chances and difficulties of different teaching methods and aids. They are able to assess the suitability of teaching methods with regard to a learning situation. In their lessons they endeavour to implement suitable methods adapted to the class and the subject. Students are familiar with the basics of experimenting in physics lessons. They are familiar with numerous experiments on various physical topics and are sensitized to the targeted use of demonstration and student experiments in class.
