Academic CentreFollowing an initiative promoted by the Latvian Electrical Engineering and Electronics Industry Association (LETERA) and supported by universities and the Latvian Physics Teachers’ Association (LFSA), in order to ensure quality physics education for every student, it is necessary to provide every physics teacher with a complete teaching kit, one of the components of which is a set of teaching methodological materials for each lesson, developed by qualified experts. The Department of Physics of the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optometry, in collaboration with the Latvian Physics Teachers’ Association, implemented a project of the National Centre for Education on the development of a set of teaching methodological materials for the secondary school course Physics I.
The set of 245 physics lesson plans for each physics lesson, presentations, laboratory activities, final topic activities and methodological commentaries help teachers to understand the authors' vision on how the lessons fit into the Physics I curriculum, what needs extra attention in the teaching process, and how these lessons can be adapted to the needs of their class. The set of methodological materials is designed to be a very important support for both experienced teachers and, in particular, for new teachers. The materials have been approved both in school teaching and in workshops with physics education professionals, both practicing physics teachers and lecturers and researchers from the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optometry. The materials are available for physics teachers on skolo.lv.
Project duration: from August 2022 to 30 June 2023.
The project activities have been implemented within the framework of the project "Support for the Development of Individual Competences of Learners" (No 8.3.2.2/16/I/001) financed by the European Social Fund.
