  1. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKUWhatarewedoing?Whatareourintentions? Linz School of Education (LSEd) Dept. of STEM Education Division forDidacticsofPhysics Ass.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Erich Steinbauer Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  2. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU History • Founded in 1991asDept. forDidacticsofPhysicswithinthe Institute of Experimental Physics • At that time it was a pure serviceinstitutionforproviding • Experiments shown in physicslectures • Practicalexercisesforphysicsandphysicsteacherstudents • Sepcializedlecturesandpracticalexercisesforphysicsteacherstudents • From 1995: extensionofactivitiestopresentstate • In-service teachertraining, programsfor giftet pupils, … • 2016/17: Transfer ofthe Division toLSEd Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  3. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU Staff • Permanent • Christian Walter Physicsteacher at lower/uppersecondaryschoolresponsiblefortheeducationofphysicsteacherstudents(practicalexercisesforschoolexperiments) • NN (hopefully)responsibleforteachereducation, student lab experiments, lectureexperiments • Erich SteinbauerHead ofthedivision, atomicphysicistresponsibleformanythings (seelater) Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  4. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU • ExternalLecturers (not complete) • Engelbert Stütz (physicsteacher)Lectures aboutdidacticsofphysics • Hans Glavnik (physicsteacher)Computer science in physicseducation • Wolfgang Rößler (physicsteacher)Historyofphysics, bookauthor • Peter Bauer (atomicphysicist)Transformation of modern physicstoschoollevel (seminar)Medical physics (lecture) • Oswald Benka (atomicphysicist)PracticalexercisesformolecularbiologyMedical physics (practicalexercises) Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  5. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU Activitiesofthe Division (Whatarewedoing?) • Teaching • DidacticseducationofphysicsteacherstudentsIn newcurriculum: Collaborationwith PH OOe, PH Linz • PracticalexercisesandlectureexperimentsforvariousstudyprogramsoftheFacultyof Engineering and Natural Sciences (TNF) • PhysicsTeacher Education (secondary) • Technical Physics • Electronics and Information Technology • MolecularBiosciences • Dedicatedlecturesandseminars • E.g. HistoryofPhysics, … • Technical Electronics, AdvancedMeasuringTechniques, Programming (C/C++), Medical Physics (Steinbauer) Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  6. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU Activitiesofthe Division (Whatarewedoing?) • Experimental Developments • New experimentsforpracticalexercisesandlectures • Development of electronic equipmentfor • Academic institutions (e.g. multichannelanalyzer) • Schools (dataacquisioninterfacefordiBox) Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  7. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU • Example 1: Statisticsofradioactivedecaypracticalexercises (teacherstudents, technicalphysics) Radioactivedecaysarestatisticallyindependent (reason: decayoccurs in a singlenucleus) • Time between 2 eventshasexponentialdistribution Fires in buildingscanbestatisticallyindependent (reason: carelesspeople) • Time between 2 eventshasexponentialdistribution Whatabout a criminalarsonist (incendiary)? Disturbsexponentialdistribution! Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  8. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU • Example 2: Computer tomographypracticalexercises in medicalphysics (teacherstudents, technicalphysics) • Fullyfunctional, homemade CT unitwithimageacquisitionsoftware • Studentscaninterfere at anystepof CT imageacquisition • Spatialresolutioncompareabletocommercialdevices (< 1 mm) (seenutshellabove) • However: Objectdiameter < 5 cm, acquisition time about 30 min Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  9. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU • Example 3: Data acquisitioninterfaceforschools • Schools are equipped with diBox data acquisition system for physics school experiments • diBox cannot be used with modern PCs • Interface enables diBox to be connected to USB • More than 20 programs (Labview) support data acqusition • More than 20 schools use this new interface at present Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  10. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU Activitiesofthe Division (Whatarewedoing?) • In-service Teacher Training • Seminars on severaltopics • Acoustics • Modern Microscopy • Atomicand Medical Physics • Digital Electronics • School Experiments • … Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  11. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU Activitiesofthe Division (Whatarewedoing?) • Programsforgiftedpupils • Cooperationwiththe International Academy Traunkirchen • Cooperationwith Stiftung Talente Oberösterreich • Young PhysicsScientists (partof JKU Young Scientists) • Information andRecruitmentProgramsofthe JKU • Frauen in die Technik (FIT) • Studieninformationsmesse (SIM) Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  12. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU Example: JKU Young Scientists • Collaborationof JKU, schoolauthoritiesandUpper Austrian industries • Startedwith polymer chemistryandphysicsprograms(Young Polymer / PhysicsScientists) • At presentmostdisciplines at the TNF areinvolved • Computer Sciences • Electronics and Information Technology • Mathematics • Mechatronics • Physics • Polymer Chemistry Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  13. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU Young PhysicsScientists Part 1 takesplace at the JKU • Upto 25 participants per year (fromuppersecondary) • 4 weekends (Friday / Saturday)4 experimentsfromthefieldof „surfacescience“Friday: theoreticalintroductionSaturday: experimentsusingtheresearchequipmentoftheDept. ofAtomicand Surface Science (Peter Zeppenfeld) Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics

  14. DidacticsofPhysics at the JKU Young PhysicsScientists Part 2 (optional): takesplace at an industrialpartnersite, e.g. VA Stahl, Hueck Folien, BMW, … • Paidholidayinternship at a partnersiteor at oneofthephysicsinstitutes Part 3 (optional) • The resultsofparts 1 and/or 2 canbeused at school(„Vorwissenschaftliche Arbeit“) • Applicationfor „Hans Riegel Fachpreis“(Haribo …) Dept. of STEM Education, Division for Didactics of Physics
