AfroPhysics/Misc/Poll

= Opinion Poll among Ugandan colleagues =

What you think would be a good idea to proceed next for our Center, in order to get maximum resonance for our colleagues and students (high impact)
and

What you would like to work on, because you are highly motivated to get creative in this topic.
For answering the questions, this point system could be used:

10 points: Yes, I do absolutely share this opinion and want to emphasize to a maximum.

5 points: I do not really know or I am indifferent.

0 points: No, definitely I do not think so and do not at all share this opinion.

And of course every number in between.

Please also give a short commentary (C:) to explain your opinion.

1. Project Portal:

We create a new portal for our Center.

2. Physics experiments with low cost materials

We develop a collection and give them a try in the classroom.

3. Pedagogics for big classes: student centered tuition

We develop a collection of best practices and give them a try in the classroom.

4. Physics and sports

We investigate the interests of our students regarding sports and develop corresponding physics lessons.

5. Teacher Motivation

We investigate the positive and negative motives and motivations of physics teachers.

6. Ugandan Physics past papers

We develop an on-line training platform with past Ugandan exams.

7. Physics lesson plans

We develop a collection of successfully held physics lessons.

8. Physics projects

We develop a collection and give them a try in the classroom.

9. Why is Physics interesting for our students?

We do an investigation on this question.

10. Primary Physics Materials SUPRA

We adapt the high quality materials for the Ugandan context and translate to local languages.

11. Gender Issues in Physics Teaching

We do investigations and try to find guidelines for getting more girls on the boat of learning physics.

12. Hands-on physics teaching

We buy the book and see what we can adapt for physics teaching in Uganda.

13. Modern Topics

We develop materials on teaching “modern” subjects like electronics and astronomy in Uganda.

14. Science Videos

We try to get information on videos suitable for teaching physics.

15. Ugandan physics curriculum refinement We work on a detailed Ugandan physics curriculum in the wiki.

16. Hot Topics

We work on hot topics like “Energy saving” or “renewable energies”.

17. School Home Page

We develop home pages for our schools (cooperation with German colleagues?)

18. Mobile Learning

We get information on new methods of leaning Physics via mobile phone.
