Pre-service Physics Teacher Education at Primary and Secondary Levels

Abstract

Pre-service teacher education is important in preparing future teachers who can effectively support student learning. In order to do this, pre-service teachers must acquire, among other things, teaching-oriented content knowledge and a posi-tive stance with regard to teaching and motivation towards teaching. Many more issues are linked to pre-service teacher education. In this paper, we discuss some issues raised and answers proposed about this subject during the GIREP Malta 2021 Webinar Work Group 5 discussions regarding pre-service physics teacher education.
