Learning outcomes and curriculum development in physics : a report on tertiary physics learning and teaching in Australia commissioned by the Australian Universities Teaching Committee

Abstract

Summary: The project's brief was to evaluate how teaching and learning in physics was responding to several factors including multidisciplinary areas, new technologies, student backgrounds and expectations, employment, career advice, industry input to the curriculum, teaching for engineering and the biosciences, staffing, and inputs to teacher training. This report identifies strategic directions and instances of good practice in relation to these factors.
