Abstract

Kvaliteta nastave fizike u školama od ključne je važnosti jer ona ne samo da treba dati temelje u razumijevanju osnovnih prirodnih pojava ključne za sve prirodne znanosti, već treba kroz fizikalni način razmišljanja učeniku dati alate i vještine koje može primijeniti u svakom segmentu života. Nastavnici i stručnjaci u svijetu neprestano rade na razvoju tehnika i metoda učenja fizike. Cilj novog nacionalnog kurikuluma trebao bi biti prijenos najboljih svjetskih iskustava u sve školske predmete. Tradicionalni oblici nastave, koji su učenicima često teški i nerazumljivi, mijenjaju se (često i do 50% kao u skandinavskim zemljama) s različitim oblicima projektne ili terenske nastave bazirane na istraživanju i individualnom pristupu. Osnovni alat za promjenu tih koncepata u nastavi fizike je pokus. Fizika je prirodna znanost temeljena na pokusu. Pokus u nastavi fizike kod djece potiče kreativnost, razvijaju kritičko razmišljanje i zaključivanje. Ovim radom u odabranoj temi Bernoullijeva jednadžba, želi se pokazati da se jednostavnim pokusima mogu na zanimljiv način prikazati bitna fizikalna svojstva. Ovi primjeri mogu biti sastavni dio nekog budućeg kataloga fizikalnih pokusa koji bi uz odgovarajuću edukaciju i motiviranje nastavnika bio okosnica moderne nastave fizike.

Abstract (english)

The quality of teaching physics in schools is crucial because it contributes not only to the understanding the basic natural phenomena that are important for all the natural sciences, but also gives student through a physical way of thinking the tools and skills that can be applied in every aspect of life. Teachers and experts in the world are constantly working to develop techniques and methods of teaching physics. The aim of the new Croatian national curriculum should be a transfer of the world's best experiences in all school subjects. Traditional forms of teaching, that are often heavy and obscure to sudents, are replaced (often up to 50% as in the Scandinavian countries) with various forms of project based learning that is based on research and individual approach. The main tool to change these concepts in physics is experiment. Physics is a natural science based on experiments. The experiment in physics teaching encourages creativity, develop critical thinking and reasoning. This work in the chosen topic of Bernoulli equation will show that simple experiments can be an interesting way to display important physical concepts. These examples may be part of a future catalog of physical experiments that can become with proper training and motivation of teachers, the backbone of modern physics teaching.
