The lecture given during Slovenian conference of science teachers discussed a problem of identification of gifted students with underprivileged backgrounds, which usually have weaker literacy, math and artistic skills. The methodology of identification through inquiry based learning of contemporary science topics developed in the project was presented. Several questions demostrated that the lecture accessed teachers and that many of them realized hindering effects of missing intelectual skills for identification of giftedness.
F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
COBISS.SI-ID: 12665417Lecture presented analogy between propagation of microwaves through wood and light through anisotropic materials. As wood has a structure observable by naked eyes, absorption and propagation in dependence of orientation with respect to wood fibres, can be studied and extended to equal phenomena at the range of light wavelengths. This analogy is the content developed for the purpose of one o the teaching units.
F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
COBISS.SI-ID: 12249673Invited workshop was given at the annual meeting of physics teachers from Czech republik. The concept of identefication of gifted students with weaker intellectual skills was presented and one unit was tested from prespective of students during the workshop.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 12348233The contribution introduces liquid crystals and hydrogels as new materials that improve people's lives and about which learners know little. Based on research on prior knowledge about liquid crystals and hydrogels, teaching modules with emphasis on basic properties of the mentioned materials and experimental work were designed. The modules are presented in the contribution. The results of the evaluation of teaching modules with the pre-service primary school students are added as well.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 12532041Doctoral thesis is a result of collaboration between Jagellonian University in Krakow, Faculty for physics, astronomy and informatics and University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Education. It focuses on introduction of contemporary scientific results to science education and to introduction of new methodologies of teaching and assessment.
