Lists for each higher education institution in Scotland pertinent details about the physics curriculum, including honors degree courses, special entry requirements, and course structure. (MLH)

Describes the six types of testing used in the Nuffield A-Level physics exam in Great Britain. Includes numerous item examples and discusses changes that have been made in the exam. (MLH)

Describes the 0-level Nuffield physics exam used in Great Britain and procedures for administering this exam. (MLH)

Discusses changes that have taken place during the period 1951-1976 in the physics syllabuses and tests formulated by the Joint Matriculation Board for 0-level and A-level physics in Great Britain. (MLH)

Describes recent changes in the A-level physics syllabus of the University of London. Discusses the new emphasis on understanding and applying rather than pure role learning, and the changes in testing procedures caused by this emphasis. (MLH)

Proposes that college-level comprehensive science examinations in Great Britain include separate grades for the practical and theoretical sections of the exam. (MLH)

Describes physics curriculum development for secondary schools being conducted at the Institut fur die Padagogik der Naturwissenschaften in the Federal Republic of Germany. (MLH)

Describes the use of images on an overhead projector to explain concepts like centrifugal force and Cariolis force in such a way that students can realize that they are pseudo-forces, i.e., observations arising only from referring phenomena to an accelerating reference system. (MLH)

Describes how to construct a device that will show interference fringes formed by multiple reflections in an air gap between two partially silvered glass surfaces. (MLH)

Describes an experimental technique for determining liquid dielectric constants by measuring the rise of the liquid in a paralled-plate capacitor at a known voltage. (MLH)

Discusses how to establish a computer-assisted learning (CAL) program, including costs, needed equipment, preparing CAL packages, and evaluation techniques. (MLH)

Surveys the present situation of physics teaching in the secondary schools in Great Britain. Includes enrollment statistics, types of curriculum, and the influence of Nuffield projects. (MLH)

Discusses the fact that physics research today is evolutionary rather than revolutionary, and deals with technological applications and new interdisciplinary areas. (MLH)

Discusses characteristics of Nuffield physics curricula, such as the emphasis on understanding physical concepts and open-ended laboratory experiments. (MLH)

Discusses ways to improve physics curricula, such as including events from science history and using discovery techniques. (MLH)
