Physics in High School
Physik im Gymnasium
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:22:23
Abstract
The students deepen technical and didactic aspects of physics at high school level: physical basics, models, elementization, didactic reconstruction, everyday ideas, common misconceptions. They implement the knowledge in an own teaching sequence.
Objective
The students have in-depth specialist knowledge of challenging topics in school physics and can elementize these topics in a way that is appropriate to the subject, the target and the target group. They know common everyday ideas and misconceptions in important teaching topics and can take them into account in their teaching concepts.
Content
In den fachdidaktischen Lehrveranstaltungen haben die Studierenden Grundwissen über die Gestaltung von Lernumgebungen im Physikunterricht erhalten. In diesem Kurs werden ausgewählte Unterrichtsthemen fachlich weiter vertieft. Konzeptuelle Schwierigkeiten und typische Misskonzepte werden analysiert. Davon ausgehend und auf Grundlage der didaktischen Rekonstruktion erarbeiten die Studierenden Erklärungsmuster zu unterrichtsrelevanten physikalischen Inhalten und setzen sie im eigenen Unterricht um.
