Didattica della Fisica / Physics Education
The Didattica della Fisica / Physics Education path is structured around a series of general courses that cover various areas of Physics, as well as some more specific courses on disciplinary teaching and the history of science, aimed at a student who wishes to prepare for teaching in secondary schools (both first and second level). This path is naturally oriented towards Italian students, and most courses are held in Italian.
This path naturally fits within the Fisica Applicata / Applied Physics curriculum, whose general rules must be followed when preparing this study plan. Below are some recommendations for choosing core, related/integrative, and elective courses for this path.
|
Core Courses: Didattica della fisica Colorimetria e percezione cromatica Frontiere dell'astrofisica* Elements of matter physics Nuclear and subnuclear physics Ionizing radiation detectors Electronics laboratory Nuclear physics laboratory
It is also recommended to take the course in Statistical Mechanics, which, having already selected Physics Education from the same core courses, can only be included as an elective course.

|
Additional recommended core, supplementary and elective courses: Storia della chimica e della fisica* Data analysis in subnuclear physics Data acquisition systems Fisica dei semiconduttori: teoria e applicazioni* Particelle elementari e applicazioni* Introduzione alla relatività generale* Introduzione a scienze e tecnologie quantistiche* Didattica della matematica** Advanced optics Acustica*
Note: * if not already selected during the Bachelor's degree ** from the Master's Degree in Mathematics
