The paper is focused on the use of "artificial intelligence" (AI) in teaching not only physics but also science. At present (spring 2023), the use of AI is strongly developed, and various questions are being asked. AI answers them for us better or ...

Well-conceived children's inquiry can be a complex, cognitively demanding process that can significantly support the development of intellectual talent in children. At the same time, it can also be a good tool for identifying cognitively gifted children. Our research ...

The paper is a summary of results of research on the state of education of future physics teachers at Czech universities. The research was carried out as part of the diploma thesis (author: B. Srbová, supervisor: T. Miléř) on the basis of the analysis o...

The aim of the paper is to summarize the results of several master and bachelor theses that have been devoted in recent years to the characteristics of the problems given in the last ten or so years of the Physics Olympiad (FO), as well as to ...

Eye-tracking is a new technology that makes it possible to track the eye movement of an individual while observing certain text or image. In physics teaching, this technology can be used to improve teaching and student understanding. Eye movement tracking can &#...

Using examples from the literature, I present common misconceptions in explaining thought experiments in special relativity. I analyse their probable origin.

The paper contributes to discussions on possible limitations of using mathematical tools in teaching Physics on secondary schools. It is focused especially to vector calculus, where dominate teacher´s opinions that the use of scalar and vector products in teaching s...

The author argues in favor of taking social studies of science into account in secondary school teaching. He points out that teachers may venture into the area of sociology of science (which is often empirically grounded in physics) without necessarily moving &#...

In this paper, we recall the ever-present issue of students' misconceptions and their impact on learning and learning outcomes. We mention three typical teaching techniques used to eliminate them - analogy, cognitive conflict and self-reflective active learning. We also &#x...

Maria Theresa wanted, among other reforms, to make an education reform of the Austrian-Hungarian empire. She called Jan Felbiger, who became the main promoter of the new concept of teaching. He proposed modern methods for his time, such as the use of textbooks or&...

The paper describes few activities of the formative approach in teaching physics. The activities are divided into five parts: 1) Do I understand it?, 2) The student chooses, 3) Work with the criteria, 4) Do I understand what I am supposed to be able to&...

The goal of this contribution is to present the creation and development of inquiry based optical experimental units of the Interactive Physics Laboratory at MFF UK for upper secondary students. Each unit is guided by a worksheet that leads the students to formul...

The law of action and reaction is one of the fundamental laws of classical mechanics, with which a large number of misconceptions are associated. Similarly, Le Chatelier's principle, sometimes also called the principle of action and reaction, belongs to the ...

The support and development of scientific literacy in kindergarten is an important process that helps children better understand the world around them and develops their abilities and skills in the field of natural sciences, therefore it should be taken as one of ...

The paper will present reflective videos for current future physics teachers aimed at reflecting on and sharing experiences from the practice and teaching of novice physics teachers in different types of schools (primary, secondary, high school). Further, we present ...

Vo vyučovaní fyziky sa na všetkých úrovniach vzdelávania opakovane stretávame so žiackou predstavou, že ak sa teleso pohybuje, tak na neho musí pôsobiť sila v smere pohybu. Táto „šípka v smere pohybu“ je v súlade s historickou predstavou o pohyboch. Ak tút...

The article presents the Test of Scientific Literacy Skills (TOSLS) first published in 2012, which has been translated into the Czech language. The test contains 28 multiple-choice questions. The test items are based on real-world problems and focus on nine areas of&#...
