Revitalising Physics Education

What are the best ways forward for post-16 physics in the next decade? An essential starting point is understanding where we are now, and why.

Issues addressed by this booklet include:

How physics emerged as a subject

• What curriculum projects can and cannot achieve
• Opportunities for physics within the current qualifications framework
• Teaching and learning beyond qualifications
• International developments in physics education

The last section suggests ways forward for those who have the power to shape physics education: teachers and curriculum managers; universities, employers and professional bodies; unitary awarding bodies; regulatory bodies and funding agencies; and government.
