PHYSICS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

The impact of physics on society and the mission of physics education in secondary schools

from defect or intrinsic surface steps can be used to structure the surface itselfwith the possibility to include also layers deeper than the topmost one. The use ofartificially created adatom-hole pairs as binary units with writing, reading and rewriting possibilities certainly would give rise to the utmost possible storage density. Artificial structures on the surface can be built either with...

Clusterschemes in Dutch Secondary Schools Clusterschemes in Dutch Secondary Schools

The first step in constructing timetables in secondary schools in Netherlands consists of constructing the clusterschemes for the higher classes. A clusterscheme contains clusterlines with optional subjects that will be taught in parallel; the problem is to divide these optional subjects in clusterlines, such that the number of hours needed is as low as possible. We describe an efficient branch...

Comprehensive Secondary Schools

Acknowledgement This preliminary research is possible thanks to a grant from the Dean of Education Office at The University of Western Ontario. The grant program is set up to give faculty members the opportunity to formulate larger research grant proposals as well as investigate issues related to policy and planning in formal education. In this instance I want to pursue a historical and present...

Advanced physics in the high schools

The Cognitive Goal Achievement of 3 Physics & Laboratory Courses in Secondary School

This paper presents a report on the level of achievement in the third grade of high school courses of physics and laboratory. This research is assessment-oriented and evaluative and in collecting of data follows the grounded theory method. Curricular goal achievement was assessed with evaluating mathematics and science students (N=369) from five districts in Tehran via academic achievement test...
