Fysikämnet i förändring : Är fysiklärarna rustade för de nya momenten; den kondenserade materiens elektronstruktur, nanoteknologi samt materialfysik?

Sammanfattning: The aim with this essay is to find out what the expected changes in the subject physics will lead to for teachers and their pupils in “gymnasiet”. The new fields we have chosen to focus on are electronic structure of condensed matter, nanotechnology and material physics. By studying earlier used curricula and textbooks, we illustrate what teachers may have come into contact with in their teaching careers. The main focus lies on what teachers claim to know about the fields mentioned above and if there is a need for further education. Our results indicate that teachers in general feel insecure about their knowledge of these fields and that further education is desirable. The studied group of teachers also have wishes on how to form possible further education.
