SP characteristics

The study program is focused on the problematic of didactics of physics and general problems of physics. It stems from scientific disciplines such as physics, didactics of physics, pedagogy and psychology. The main goal is to provide students with a complex overview of didactics of physics, teach them independent scientific practice in this field and allow for a deeper understanding of some parts of physics. This programme naturally follows the master’s programme Physics Education for Secondary Schools which, out of the whole Charles University, can be studied solely at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. It is therefore natural that this faculty also has a doctorate program focused on didactics of physics and general problems of physics. This study programme is unique by being the only one at our university to offer doctorate level studies in the field of didactics of physics.

Graduate profile for the public:
The graduate has deeper knowledge in physics, physics education, pedagogical-psychological disciplines or philosophy and history of physics and is prepared for independent research work in various branches of physics education or philosophy and history of physic. Graduate specialized in physics education is able to solve problems connected with physic education on secondary school level and to plan, conduct and evaluate research in the field of physics education. The graduates will find employment at university departments providing pre-service physics teacher training, in scientific and pedagogical institutions, in management positions in school system and as a highly qualified teacher at junior and senior secondary schools and at colleges.
