| Description: |
The lecture Basic Principles in Physics is a compulsory subject in the education of primary school teachers at TU Dortmund University and actively attended by 100 to 150 students. Previously the lecture was held as a classic lecture utilizing mainly power point slides and experimental demonstrations. For the winter term 23/24 the lecture format was shifted towards a more interactive format, aiming at specific physics problems to be solved as part of the lecture. In order to free up the necessary time in the lecture itself , the conveyance of knowledge was shifted to the students’ preparation for the individual lectures, by providing texts and videos, which were aided by a short quiz. The lectures as well as the preparation were accessed over the entire semester. This paper provides an overview over the results obtained from the assessments and the final exams, as well as the lessons learned. |
