| Pleasedescribethelearningoutcomesofthecourse: Knowledge, skills and abilitiesacquiredafterthesuccessfulcompletionofthecourse. | |
| The course material aims at the systematic approach and development of basic knowledge, concepts and principles of Physics in subjects that concern Primary Education in the context of achieving literacy in Physics, the development of critical thinking on this knowledge and the understanding and ability to interpret basic phenomena through a series of activities and applications during the course and the possibility of a didactic transformation between scientific and school knowledge.
Upon completion of the course students should be able: • To have the appropriate background of basic concepts and principles of the science of Physics for the understanding of natural phenomena in the context of Primary Education and the possibility of developing scientific literacy (MA11). • To appropriately utilize concepts and principles of the science of Physics for the understanding of natural phenomena in the context of Primary Education (MA3). • To understand and interpret natural phenomena based on the curriculum and the relevant educational material and activities in Primary education at both macroscopic and microscopic level with the possibility of developing didactic transformations (MA4). • To recognize situations and phenomena and the possibility of using appropriate tools and methods to solve physics problems based on the curriculum and the relevant educational material and activities in Primary education to promote critical thinking and creative thinking (MA6). • To be able to connect the knowledge of the science of Physics with situations and phenomena of everyday life, recognizing the importance of all the above for the recognition of the essential role of future teachers of Primary Education (MA1). |

- COURSE CONTENT
| The course teaches concepts of Physics related to the respective units of the curriculum for primary school. Basic concepts of Engineering, Heat, Sound and Light (Waves), Structure of Matter, Electricity and Magnetism are analyzed. Students acquire the necessary theoretical background so that they can interpret and solve situations related to various natural phenomena contained in primary education. |

Formative or Concluding evaluation Language: Greek
Mid-term examination (20%) Includes: Both short-answer and developmental questions on key concepts involved in understanding natural phenomena
Written final exam (80%) Includes: – Development, Short Answer, Multiple Choice, Matching, or True / False Questions – Management of applications related to daily situations or situations that appear in primary school books – Solving relevant exercises / problems – Benchmarking data and drawing conclusions with justification
Evaluation criteria: • Correctness and completeness of the answers. • Clarity and consistency in argumentation, interpretation and justification. • Accuracy and completeness in data management.

ANNEX OF THE COURSE OUTLINE
Alternative ways of examining a course in emergency situations
| Teacher (full name): | Anastasios Zoupidis |
| Contact details: | azoupidis@eled.duth.gr |
| Supervisors: | YES |
| Evaluation methods: | Written examination with distance learning methods |
| Implementation Instructions: | The course examination will take place according to the semester examinations program.
The course examination will be performed through MS TEAMS and eclass. The link will be sent to students via eclass exclusively to the institutional accounts of those who have registered for the course and have been informed the terms of distance education. Students will have to log in to the examination room using their institutional account, otherwise they will not be able to participate. They will also take part in the examination with a camera which they will have open during the examination. Before the start of the examination, students will show their identity to the camera, so that they can be identified. The course is evaluated with a maximum grade of TEN (10). The TWO (2) points are claimed during the 1st and 2nd intermediate examination, during the semester through closed-ended questions in eclass. The remaining EIGHT (8) points are claimed during the final distance written exam through closed-ended questions and text development in eclass, on the day of the course examination according to the semester examinations program. |
