Abstract
Teachers’ training toward teaching quantum physics at the high-school level requires special effort. Many teachers lack the relevant knowledge and pedagogically tend to “chalk and talk”. We developed a workshop for high-school teachers to teach this subject differently. We have adopted the approach of “teachers as learners” (Levy et al. 2019) and the method of “active learning”. We used the Discipline-Culture (DC) framework (Tseitlin and Galili, 2005) to adequately represent quantum physics as a physical theory—Quantum Theory (QT), including mathematical components (Pospiech et al. 2021) for scaffolding teachers-students’ conceptual and quantitative understanding. We present insights from the workshop and teachers’ training for teaching quantum physics in secondary schools.
