Corso di Laurea Magistrale in
Scienze Fisiche e Astrofisiche
Physics Teaching
The Physics Education track 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 track is naturally part of the Applied Physics curriculum, and the rules for composing the study plan should follow those. Below are recommendations for the choice of core, supplementary/integrative, and elective courses for this track.
|
Core Courses: Physics Education Colorimetry and color perception Atmospheric physics Elements of material 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 supplementary and elective courses: History of Chemistry and Physics Data analysis in subnuclear physics Data acquisition systems Semiconductor physics: theory and applications* Elementary particles and applications* Introduction to astrophysical observations* Introduction to general relativity* Introduction to quantum science and technologies* Mathematics Education** Optics
Note: * if not already selected during the undergraduate program ** from the Master's Degree in Mathematics
