| Short description: |
The aim of the course is the introduction to novel forms of didactics: inter-disciplinary, constructivitis, interactive. We use the newest achievements of cognitive didactics and pedagogy, and results of international programs in education. |
||
| Full description: |
1. Traditional categories of didactical principles. Didactical tools. DIdactical methods. 2. Traditional student laboratories - examples and limitations in didactical efficiency. 3. Practical implementations of textbooks - foreign examples 4. Principles o hyper-constructivitic didactics. 5. Neo-realism: simple didactical objects. 6. Hyper-constructivistic workshops and laboratories - experimental set-ups for electromagnetism. 7. Laboratory of modern physics - from simple objects to on-line experiments. 8. Computer-guided experiments - principles of group work, basic technical standards, interfaces and sensors. 9. Ideas and implementations of interactive didactics - musea and exhibitions. 10. Multimedia text-books (Zanichelli) 11. Implementations: quantum mechanics in short. 12. Multimedia implementations in culture, history of arts, tourism. 13. Interdisciplinary methods in teaching science. 14. Teaching and language: language as the way of reproducing and shaping the reality. 15. Education as a part of culture. |
