Teaching High School Physics
By Carl J. Wenning and Rebecca E. Vieyra
Title information
Teaching High School Physics is centered on the principle that teachers need to be educated rather than trained and helps to form a substantive and substantiated foundation for a new way of teaching. Providing a mix of theory and practice, these books describe more than 40 important topics and encourage an inquiry-oriented approach to physics teaching. They include numerous examples and helpful resources.
The Nature of Physics Teaching:
• Explores the role of educational research, teaching philosophies, and scientific epistemology as a foundation for good teaching
• Places a strong emphasis on learning by inquiry
• Prepares teachers with a solid philosophical and practical foundation focusing on the nature of physics teaching
Teaching High School Physics is suitable for teacher candidates, experienced in-service physics teachers, and educators seeking a detailed reference guide to the many subjects being addressed in today’s teaching reform movements.
