FROM PHYSICS THROUGH ICT IN EDUCATION AND BACK TO PHYSICS TEACHING; 50 YEARS OF VARIED EXPERIENCE IN TEACHER TRAINING

With a formal competence within Physics and education, and with teacher training as the field of practice, the introduction of modern computers caused a lot of challenges to pedagogical approaches. This paper intends to report on the changes in methods and technology that have taken place over a period of nearly 50 years, from traditional lectures plus lab exercises to the present campus based elearning. The introduction to and the influence of computer technology in education have central roles. Student reactions and final outcomes of the new method are analysed and presented. Some conclusions and advice for further development are suggested.
