Learning outcomes The objectives of the curricular unit are:
1. To ensure a sound preparation in all a reas of physics integrating the basic training required for a rigorous practice
of the teaching profession;
2. To supplement this minim al training, not only in terms of theory and understanding of nature, but also with regard to
the real importance of the applications of physics in everyday contemporary life, knowledge leading to a more
informative, motivating and integrated teaching activity;
3. To provide instruction on expanding and continually u pdating of this knowledge.
At the end of the curricular unit the student should show:
1. The required progress and fluency in the subjects deem ed necessary for fulfillment of their initial training;
2. An understanding of the relevance and applications of this science;
3. A capacity for independent progress.
Syllabus In view of some diversity in the preparatory training of students, the emphasis of this complementary training will also
be differentiated. Subjects primarily in the areas of Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, and Modern Physics, will be
taught in strict accordance with the real needs revealed by the student, with emphasis on both knowledge of the
fundamental principles and of their importance for understanding applications to science and contemporary
technology.
Choice of a topic relevant in basic and secondary education to explore towards a deeper understanding of the
underlying principles, including a study of the implications for understanding nature and uses in science and
technology.
