| The course material aims at the realization of the experiment by the students. Working in groups the students can experience basic concepts and principles of physics experientially. They will apply the appropriate steps to perform the experiment through appropriate experimental devices and apply appropriate laboratory material to explore / discover and verify knowledge. Moreover, the direct connection of physics with everyday experience will emerge through the laboratory / experiment.
Upon completion of the course, students should be able: • To use appropriately concepts and principles of the science of Physics for the understanding of natural phenomena during the execution of experimental procedures in the context of Primary Education (MA3). • To be able to plan, conduct and evaluate the experimental process / laboratory exercise of subjects of Primary Education Physics, formulating the objectives, the expected learning outcomes, exploring / discovering and verifying the relevant natural phenomena utilizing the way in which they approach the students (MA7). • To be able at school level to carry out appropriate experiments with the use of materials of everyday subjects of Physics, promoting critical and creative thinking, as well as inquiry or self-active or collaborative learning (MA6). • To be able to connect the knowledge of the science of Physics with situations and phenomena of everyday life through the essential role of the experiment in teaching and learning, recognizing the importance of all the above in the role of future teachers of Primary Education (MA1). |

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: | No |
| Evaluation methods: | Oral examination with distance learning methods |
| Implementation Instructions: | The examination in the course will take place in groups of 3-4 people on the day of the examination of the course according to the examination program.
The examination will be performed through MS TEAMS. The link will be sent to students via eclass exclusively to the institutional accounts of those who have registered for the course and have learned the terms of distance education. Students will have to log in to the examination room through 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 exam, students will show their identity to the camera, so that they can be identified. Each student should answer 4 questions. Each of the questions is scored with 2.5. |
