COURSE TITLE: Physics COURSE CODE: 9PHYSICS-A NUMBER OF UNITS: 3 units
CONTACT HOURS: 3 hours Pre-requisite subject/s: None
COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Quizzes, Activities and Reflection papers, Active participation in group and/or individual discussion/exercises/workshops, Research output, Major Examinations
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course implies the concepts related to applying physics in psychology. The course focuses on physical measurement methods, practical application relevant to mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, electricity, magnetism, and waves and optics. These concepts applied to a variety of physical situations are fundamental requirement in forming the foundation of competent teachers. Students will acquire skills in scientific methods, critical reasoning and problem solving. The students are expected to have facility with Fundamentals of Math and trigonometry.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Discuss the importance of the natural sciences.
2. Examine the most celebrated ideas and discoveries in the physical sciences.
3. Identify, explain and correlate the different concepts in physics, chemistry and astronomy.
4. Practice scientific method in making responsible decisions
5. Explain how the basic physical laws and principles of the physical sciences are related to the preservation of the environment.
6. Comprehend the importance of the physical sciences in dealing with the present problems of the earth and participate through discussing solutions by fluently speak and write their ideas.
7. Construct models with the use of appropriate technology on related topics in physics, chemistry and astronomy.
8. Develop quantitative and qualitative analytical thinking that will help them in their organization, critical thinking, an understanding of the natural world, and skills for success in college classes and a technical career.
9. Develop a caring attitude and a sense of responsibility as stewards of our natural resources.
10. Practice intellectual honesty and demonstrate desired characteristics such as critical and logical thinking, resourcefulness and innovativeness, patience and perseverance and self discipline.
