The object of teaching physics at the secondary level is to contribute to the achievement of the general objectives of science teaching, and to emphasize the specific nature of physics and its relations with other scientific disciplines.
This teaching, based on the knowledge acquired at the intermediate level, aims to:
Give the students a scientific knowledge through
- enlarging the scope of their knowledge,
- interpreting their scientific observations,
- understanding laws, models, and theories of natural phenomena,
- relating
physical laws to technological applications.
Prepare the
students for scientific careers based on physics, and awaken their scientific
vocations.
Make students aware of the scientific method with all the rigor, intellectual honesty and critical thinking it requires. This consists of
- practicing the experimental method in order to develop the skills of observation, data collection, and interpretation of results,
- the mathematical formulation of the laws of physics and the construction of models,
- the
resolution of concrete problems.
Make the students understand the scientific messages contained in diagrams, graphs and media.
Train students to express themselves scientifically through the use of the appropriate terminology and abstract representation.
Train students to work in groups through experimental work and discussions.
Contribute to make students behave as responsible citizens who are able to make decisions based on scientific attitudes.
Make students aware of the development of the ideas in physics and their impact on the development of human thought.
