Abstract

Quantum physics as a consolidated theory and with increasing applications and visions from quantum technologies is gaining importance also as a subject in schools. Efforts are increasing to introduce quantum physics in high school throughout Europe. These efforts must be underpinned by stringent teacher education, as well as by general education and for orientation to vocational fields. Research shows that many teachers need special support because of the peculiarities of quantum physics and the inherent problems in teaching. In particular, finding suitable teaching resources—be it real or remote and virtual experiments, simulations, exploration environments, digital media or any other media—is central for teachers. These tools are important for education as well as for teacher education in this area. The WG3 during the online seminar in Malta 2021, therefore, discussed this aspect of teacher education as well as the general shaping of teacher education in this field. The results of discussion and a final position are summarized in this paper that gives guidelines for teacher education programs on quantum physics.
