Given the ever-increasing acceleration of science and
technology, every modern scientist is to some degree concerned
about the future of his subject and, as a teacher, about how to
come to terms with the interaction of science and the needs and
aspirations of his students.This book reports the proceedings of
the International Congress on the Education of Teachers of Physics
in Secondary Schools, held in Eger, Hungary, during September 1970.
It reviews the recruitment and education of prospective physics
teachers in secondary schools, considers the solutions found by
some countries and attempts to aid others in solving the problems
of their own local situations. The 151 participants from 28
countries represented many different educational systems and the
conference's location made possible the attendance of teachers from
the Soviet Union, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Africa, the United
States, and the United Arab Republic, in addition to a large group
from the host country. In presenting the material, the editors have
attempted to retain the conversational tone -- the "free flow of
information" -- of the conference.Chapter 1, "The Response to
Modern Society," provides the backdrop against which all further
discussions are cast -- namely, a concern for the relation of
physical science to culture in the most general sense and to the
problems of society in particular. Subsequent chapters begin with
guidelines formally adopted by each international "working group"
as it pursued such specific topics as: constraints on teacher
education; the recruitment, initial training, and in-service
education of teachers; curriculum innovation in teacher education;
the technology of physics education; procurement of low-cost
equipment; and special problems of developing countries. Five
appendixes provide information on papers and documents contributed
to the conference, the names and addresses of participants,
curriculum projects, teaching films, and the conference
exhibition.
