Physics Education Research and Development Group provides the basis for the advancement of physics education through research and practice. The group also examines general principles of quality assurance in education systems and the relevance of educational outcomes in society and participates in the development of the national curriculum and qualifications frames. The group seeks to improve teaching of physics by introducing contemporary scientific knowledge, effective teaching methods and state-of-the-art technologies in all educational cycles – from preschool to university level. The group is responsible for education of future physics teachers as well as their practice in schools and is also involved in physics teachers training.
