Abstract	The course introduces the principles of subject-oriented didactics in physics: preparation of lectures, planing, boundary conditions, teaching methods, auxiliary materials, experiments, exercises, tests, use of different media
Learning objective	The students have the didactic basics for the physics lessons at a secondary school. They can plan and carry out their own lessons taking into account the diverse framework conditions. They reflect on their lessons and endeavour to further develop them didactically and pedagogically. The students know the application possibilities, chances and difficulties of different teaching methods and aids. They are able to assess the suitability of teaching methods with regard to a learning situation. In their lessons they endeavour to implement suitable methods adapted to the class and the subject. Students are familiar with the basics of experimenting in physics lessons. They are familiar with numerous experiments on various physical topics and are sensitized to the targeted use of demonstration and student experiments in class.

Abstract	The course focuses on the backward design and evaluation of teaching units in physics at Gymnasium level.
Learning objective	Students will be able to develop and evaluate teaching units in physics based on backward design and research-based principles of learning and instruction. This includes: • Identifying big ideas and essential questions of a specified physics topic • Illustrating the desired organization of knowledge in a concept map • Building assessments to collect evidence for learning • Activating prior knowledge and dealing with learning difficulties • Designing motivating activities that make student learning visible • Applying different teaching methods (e.g., clicker sessions, hands-on experiments, POE experiments, physlets, whiteboarding)
Content	In der Veranstaltung werden die Grundlagen zum Backward Design, wichtige Prinzipien des Lernens (Aufbau einer Wissensstruktur, Vorwissen und Lernschwierigkeiten, Motivation, Peer-Learning, Formatives Assessment, Mastery und Selbststeuerung) und eine Auswahl verschiedener Unterrichtsmethoden (z.B. Clicker Sessions, Hands-On-Experimente, POE-Experimente, Physlets, Whiteboarding) erarbeitet. Darauf aufbauend werden Unterrichtseinheiten zu vorgegebenen Themen der Physik für die Gymnasialstufe entwickelt und mittels Review- und Präsentationssequenzen evaluiert. Das Design und die Unterlagen der Unterrichtseinheiten werden in Portfolios festgehalten und erläutert.
Lecture notes	Unterlagen werden in der Veranstaltung abgegeben.

Prerequisites / Notice	Die Inhalte von Fachdidaktik 1 werden in der Fachdidaktik 2 vorausgesetzt. Studierende, die Fachdidaktik 1 und 2 parallel besuchen, werden gebeten, den Dozierenden vor Beginn der Vorlesung zu kontaktieren (lichtenberger@phys.ethz.ch).
402-0917-00L	Mentored Work Subject Didactics Physics A Mentored Work Subject Didactics in Physics for TC and Teaching Diploma Physics.	O	2 credits	4A	G. Schiltz, A. Vaterlaus
Abstract	In their mentored work on subject didactics, students put into practice the contents of the subject-didactics lectures and go into these in greater depth. Under supervision, they compile tuition materials that are conducive to learning and/or analyse and reflect on certain topics from a subject-based and pedagogical angle.
Learning objective	The objective is for the students: - to be able to familiarise themselves with a tuition topic by consulting different sources, acquiring materials and reflecting on the relevance of the topic and the access they have selected to this topic from a specialist, subject-didactics and pedagogical angle and potentially from a social angle too. - to show that they can independently compile a tuition sequence that is conducive to learning and develop this to the point where it is ready for use.
Content	Thematic Focus The topics of the mentored work are mostly chosen from the high school curriculum. Methods With the help of the mentor the students individually work on a topic and write a thesis about it.
Lecture notes	http://www.fachdidaktik.physik.ethz.ch/unterlagen.html
Prerequisites / Notice	The mentored work should normally be finished before the teaching internship. FD2 (402-0909-00L) is required or should be achieved in the same semester.
