- Abstract (Swedish)
- Integrering av historia i fysikundervisningen har undersökts länge och i stor omfattning internationellt. Det finns ett brett stöd för att det kan ha många önskvärda effekter på elevers lärande och motivation. Denna positiva bild verkar inte delas helt av fysiklärare och det framkommer att det finns många utmaningar med att integrera fysikhistoria i undervisningen. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka i hur stor utsträckning ett urval fysiklärare i Sverige använder sig av fysikhistoria i sin undervisning, vilket syfte de i så fall har med att göra det samt vilka fördelar och nackdelar/svårigheter de ser med att implementera fysikhistoria.

- Integrering av historia i fysikundervisningen har undersökts länge och i stor omfattning internationellt. Det finns ett brett stöd för att det kan ha många önskvärda effekter på elevers lärande och motivation. Denna positiva bild verkar inte delas helt av fysiklärare och det framkommer att det finns många utmaningar med att integrera fysikhistoria i undervisningen. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka i hur stor utsträckning ett urval fysiklärare i Sverige använder sig av fysikhistoria i sin undervisning, vilket syfte de i så fall har med att göra det samt vilka fördelar och nackdelar/svårigheter de ser med att implementera fysikhistoria. I enkätundersökningen deltog 38 fysiklärare som var medlemmar i en sluten grupp på ett socialt medium som bestod av cirka 1200 medlemmar. Av resultatet framkom att fysiklärarna hade en positiv inställning till att använda fysikhistoria och flertalet angav att de gjorde det några gånger per kursområde. Anledningen till att de valde att integrera historia, samt fördelar de såg med det, var ett ökat intresse hos elever samt för att belysa aspekter av naturvetenskapens karaktär. Lärarna angav också att fysikhistoria har låg prioriterat, att tiden var en svårighet samt att de hade bristande kunskaper i fysikens historia. Det övergripande resultatet låg i linje med den tidigare forskning som finns och stödjer därmed tidigare forskningen. (Less)
- Abstract
- Integration of history of physics (HOP) in the teaching of physics has been studied for a long time and to a great extent. There is a widespread support of the fact that history of physics can have many desirable effects on students learning and motivation. This positive picture is seemingly not shared completely among physic teachers and to implement history to the physics classroom has been showed to have many challenges.
The purpose of this paper was to investigate how great the extent is on the usage of history of physics among a selection of physics teachers in Sweden, the rationale of using history of physics and what advantages and disadvantages/obstacles they see. 38 physic teachers participated in a survey, all of them where...

The purpose of this paper was to investigate how great the extent is on the usage of history of physics among a selection of physics teachers in Sweden, the rationale of using history of physics and what advantages and disadvantages/obstacles they see. 38 physic teachers participated in a survey, all of them where members of a closed forum on a social medium which consisted of about 1200 members. The result showed that this group of physics teachers had a positive attitude against using HOP and most participants stated that they used HOP a couple of times per course area. The reason they choose to integrate HOP, and the advantages they saw, was an increased interest and the connection to nature of science (NOS). The teachers in the study also stated that HOS is not prioritized, that the time was an obstacle and that they lacked the necessary skills to teach HOP. The overall result of this study concurred with, and thereby support, previous research. (Less)
