AWARDS Millikan Lecture 2009: Physics for all: From special needs to Olympiads
نویسنده
چکیده
Can “all” students learn “real” physics? Physics First and Physics for All have become a success story for thousands of students in urban, suburban, and rural districts. At the same time, the International Physics Olympiad and other competitions have raised the expectation of what the most motivated students can achieve. Many physics educators are exploring ways to set higher goals for our most gifted students while also providing physics instruction to students previously excluded from our physics classes. Great novels and symphonies are accessible to people of different backgrounds and levels of expertise. We should develop teaching strategies that enable us to share an understanding of physics with all students because everyone deserves an opportunity to reflect on the wondrous workings of our universe.

Second, what are the characteristics of student minds that need to acquire this knowledge and these skills? Finally, what can we do with physics lear...

متن کاملComparisons of the IMO and IOI
There are several International olympiads for secondary school students, but the five which are most widely recognised are those in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and informatics, in approximate order of founding. Most of these were originally founded under the auspices of UNESCO. Of these, the discipline most closely related to Informatics is mathematics, and in fact in several count...
