The course covers the importance of the laboratory in effective teaching and learning of physics. In a bid to encourage the use of technology in the Physics classrooms, the following questions will be used as a form of a guide to the discussions and investigations carried out during the programme:
The course will include the review of the issues currently surrounding physics teaching in Uganda, observation/participation in a local secondary school and assisting either a student or practicing teacher in formulating specific practical problems confronting physics teachers in the laboratory.
By the end of the course, the participants should be able to: 1. Apply theoretical perspectives and research findings in the planning of physics learning experiences;2. Design learning experiences appropriate to the development, interests and needs of learners, the conceptual demands of science and the nature of students’ learning in physics;3. Plan and manage learning activities in the laboratory and outside the classroom, with due cognizance of safe practices and occupational health and safety policies;4. Address gender, multicultural and other cross-curriculum issues applicable to physics laboratory activities and provide for students with special needs in the planning and management of physics learning experiences;
