posted on 2018-12-14, 12:51 authored by Mary F. StewartThis research aimed to assess the current situation with regard to the
staffing and uptake of physics courses in schools; to determine the
attitudes of physics undergraduates, physics PGCE students and
teachers of physics towards a career in teaching; to investigate the
factors which may affect these attitudes and from this information to
suggest ways in which the supply of physics teachers may be
increased. In the short-term, if the curriculum time allotted to
physics is to be maintained, it may be necessary to devise teaching
schemes involving less class contact time for physics teachers or the
use of underqualified teachers of physics. In this context the
learning method generally called supported self-study is described. [Continues.]
