• W2053156713 abstract "Honorary Editor Readers should now be fully aware that both The Institute of Physics and the Association for Science Education (ASE) are encouraging members to think hard about what they would like to see in the revised National Curriculum for science. The story of curriculum development in science for the past ten years has been of grand national initiatives which have concentrated, in science at least, on the content of what is taught rather than on the ways in which it might be taught - or how it is learnt. The initiatives have been `top-down', with usually rather hurried `consultation' with no attempt to weigh the value of responses. For example, in deciding upon a common core for A-level physics the Institute of Biology was given as much weighting as the Institute of Physics. What students thought seemed to be irrelevant. But chickens come home to roost, horses led to water don't always drink, and it seems that compelling all children to study physics as part of a science course has not had the effect of making them fall in love with subject and opt to study more of it after age 16. Physics is a growing subject, in terms of what it now covers, as the increase in the number of journal titles over recent years shows. These show that it is also more and more a fragmented subject, and the practitioners of different fragments will have different views on what constitutes a foundation core for further studies. And, of course, fewer than 10% of students at one educational level choose to take the subject in the next. I conclude from this that what physics young people study between age 11 and age 16 doesn't matter as much as the writers of the National Curriculum supposed. We would like to get young people interested in physics (or better, interested by physics) and to develop positive feelings about physics and what physicists do, based on a feeling of success in studying the subject. Different students should be given opportunities to gain satisfaction in different ways; some via linking physics to everyday life, some via the way real people have developed and are developing the ideas and artefacts of physics and technology, some via the sheer pleasure of handling difficult ideas and mathematical models. And so on. It may be that we should start looking at the outcomes of a physics course less (or not only) in terms of the knowledge and understanding that examinations test but also in terms of what the students think and feel about the time they have spent at our disposal. I suggest that a successful physics course should have the following certifiable outcomes for all students (within reason!), who should be able to say, as a minimum: I enjoyed learning physics. I understood quite a lot of it. I can use my understanding of physics to make some sense of the way things are and how things work. I could learn more physics if I had to.... ... and I know how I can find things out by myself when I do need to learn something new. I guess that this might even apply to PhD students.
