Better Physics Teaching Can Increase Physics Enrollment
Abstract
Description
Our main goal is to develop plans to increase physics enrollment. Once again we thoroughly analyze the problem from the beginning and reach the conclusion that the most appropriate starting point in this direction should be to look into K-12 teaching. We give a few recommendations to improve science/physics teaching at K-12 level. It is proposed that the quickest way to make some advancement is to start teacher training or refresher courses for school teachers to fill up their gaps in knowledge. We suggest a comparison of the affectivity of different methods of teaching to decide which one of them works better under what type of circumstances. We also propose a few steps to improve physics teaching standards at the higher levels.
