The learning targets of physics curriculum are categorized into three domains: knowledge and understanding, skills and processes, and values and attitudes. For example: |
1. Knowledge and Understanding |
- understand phenomena, facts and patterns, principles, concepts, laws, theories and models in physics; and
|
- learn the vocabulary, terminology and conventions used in physics.
|
2. Skill and Processes |
- identify attributes of objects or natural phenomena;
|
- identify patterns and changes in the natural world and predict trends from them;
|
- examine evidence and apply logical reasoning to draw valid conclusions;
|
- present concepts of physics in mathematical terms whenever appropriate; and
|
- examine theories and concepts through logical reasoning and experimentation.
|
3. Values and Attitudes |
- appreciate achievements in physics and recognize their limitations; and
|
- apply the knowledge and understanding of physics rationally in making informed decisions or judgments on issues in their daily lives.
