Abstract

It is beyond doubt that teacher education plays a crucial role in the development of the educational system. Following the educational reconstruction for teacher education model [1], a clarification of teacher students' beliefs seems mandatory in order to improve the education of future physics teachers. The main aim of this research project was to determine beliefs of physics teacher students about high quality physics instruction at school. Therefore, interviews with 23 physics teacher students and an additional case study with six teacher students were conducted. Several beliefs of teacher students' such as experiments rise students' interest and with the help of experiments physical contents can be memorized better were found.
