Physics teacher competence and the culture for teaching and learning in physics departments (with transferability to other science subjects!)

A seminar with guest lectures from Uppsala University

Wednesday, October 25th, 2017 - Place: Lille fysiske auditorium, 2 etasje vest, Fysikkbygningen

What are the unique competencies of a good physics teacher? How do university physics (science) departments accommodate student teachers in their courses? Which values and expectations characterise physics department culture – and how do these interact with student teachers’ aspirations, identity and learning? Who is the ‘implied student’ that teachers or lecturers target their teaching at, and what happens when the ‘implied student’ differs from the real students?
