| The course material aims to understanding the purpose of the experiment in teaching through the steps of its execution, the appropriate experimental devices and the most frequent use / involvement of everyday materials in the context of exploring / applying, understanding and teaching the basic concepts and principles of Physics and therefore the bridging of theory with the laboratory / experiment.
Upon completion of the course students should be able: • To appropriately utilize concepts and principles of the science of Physics for the understanding of natural phenomena during experimental teaching in Primary Education (MA3) • To be able to plan, organize and evaluate the experimental teaching that includes conducting didactic experiments on Physics of Primary Education, formulating the objectives and the expected learning outcomes, utilizing the way in which students recognize the relevant Physics topics through everyday situations and phenomena (MA7). • To be able at school level to plan and carry out appropriate experimental teaching of Physics topics through appropriate activities / experiments and use of everyday materials, promoting critical and creative thinking, as well as exploratory or self-active or collaborative learning (MA6). • To be able to properly use the appropriate didactic experiments on Physics in the context of effective experimental teaching models and strategies, so that they can transform scientific knowledge into school, while promoting exploratory, self-active and collaborative learning through the experiment (MA4, 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). |

- COURSE CONTENT
| The course consists of the theoretical and the experimental / laboratory part. The theoretical part provides the necessary theoretical background on the structure of the experiment and the relevant theory of experiments on topics of Engineering, Heat, Electricity, Magnetism and Optics in the context of Primary Education. In the Laboratory / Experimental Part, students are given the opportunity through autonomous or collaborative group learning to conduct and conceptually describe laboratory exercises / experiments, to draw relevant conclusions based on the results – explanation of a phenomenon and verification based on their principles / exercise / experiment and be able to plan the teaching of each experiment by applying a series of steps. |

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. |
