ABSTRACT

This study explores the culture of physics departments in Sweden in relation to physics teacher education. The commitment of physics departments to teacher education is crucial for the quality of physics teacher education and the way in which physics lecturers talk about teacher education is significant, since it can affect trainees’ physics learning and the choice to become a physics teacher. We analyzed interviews with eleven physicists at four Swedish universities, looking for assumptions in relation to teacher training that are expressed in their talk. We found five tacit assumptions about physics teacher training, that together paint a picture of trainee physics teachers moving in the “wrong” direction, against the tide of physics. These are the Physics Expert Assumption: the purpose of all undergraduate physics teaching is to create physics experts. The Content Assumption: the appropriate physics content for future school physics teachers is the same as that for future physicists. The Goal Assumption: the role of a school physics teacher is to create new physicists. The Student Assumption: students who become physics teachers do not have the ability to make it as successful physicists. The Teaching Assumption: If you know physics then it’s not difficult to teach it. We suggest that these five assumptions, if perpetuated without reflection, risk working against high quality physics teacher education. For physics teacher educators, our results can be used as a lens to reflect on the local departmental culture and its effect on teacher education.

逆流而上:以物理系文化为支撑的物理教师教育的五个假设

摘要

本研究探讨了瑞典物理系与物理教师教育相关的文化。物理系对教师教育的承诺对于物理教师教育的质量至关重要,物理讲师谈论教师教育的方式很重要,因为它会影响学员的物理学习和成为物理教师的选择。我们分析了对四所瑞典大学的 11 位物理学家的采访,寻找他们在演讲中表达的与教师培训相关的假设。我们发现了有关物理教师培训的五个默认假设,它们共同描绘了实习物理教师逆着物理潮流朝着“错误”方向前进的画面。这些是物理专家假设:所有本科物理教学的目的都是培养物理专家。内容假设:适合未来学校物理教师的物理内容与适合未来物理学家的物理内容相同。目标假设:学校物理老师的角色是培养新的物理学家。学生假设:成为物理教师的学生没有能力成为成功的物理学家。教学假设:如果你了解物理,那么教它并不难。我们建议这五个假设,如果不加思索地延续下去,就有可能不利于高质量的物理教师教育。对于物理教师教育者来说,我们的结果可以作为一个镜头来反映当地的部门文化及其对教师教育的影响。适合未来学校物理教师的物理内容与适合未来物理学家的物理内容相同。目标假设:学校物理老师的角色是培养新的物理学家。学生假设:成为物理教师的学生没有能力成为成功的物理学家。教学假设:如果你了解物理,那么教它并不难。我们建议这五个假设,如果不加思索地延续下去,就有可能不利于高质量的物理教师教育。对于物理教师教育者来说,我们的结果可以作为一个镜头来反映当地的部门文化及其对教师教育的影响。适合未来学校物理教师的物理内容与适合未来物理学家的物理内容相同。目标假设:学校物理老师的角色是培养新的物理学家。学生假设:成为物理教师的学生没有能力成为成功的物理学家。教学假设:如果你了解物理,那么教它并不难。我们建议这五个假设,如果不加思索地延续下去,就有可能不利于高质量的物理教师教育。对于物理教师教育者来说,我们的结果可以作为一个镜头来反映当地的部门文化及其对教师教育的影响。学生假设:成为物理教师的学生没有能力成为成功的物理学家。教学假设:如果你了解物理,那么教它并不难。我们建议这五个假设,如果不加思索地延续下去,就有可能不利于高质量的物理教师教育。对于物理教师教育者来说,我们的结果可以作为一个镜头来反映当地的部门文化及其对教师教育的影响。学生假设:成为物理教师的学生没有能力成为成功的物理学家。教学假设:如果你了解物理,那么教它并不难。我们建议这五个假设,如果不加思索地延续下去,就有可能不利于高质量的物理教师教育。对于物理教师教育者来说,我们的结果可以作为一个镜头来反映当地的部门文化及其对教师教育的影响。
