2. The main purpose of teaching physical
science in secondary school is to enable
students to grasp systematically the basic
knowledge of physical science needed for
the further study of modern science and
technology.
3. The study of physical science helps
Acquire experimental skill
Develop ability to think.
Use mathematics to solve the
problem.
In the field of industry, defence, and
agriculture.
4. Physical science can claim an honorable place
in school curriculum. So the aims an objectives of
teaching physics must be based on some criterion.
Thurber and Collette have proposed the following
criteria for selection of aims.
6. •To make students interested I physics.
•To familiarizes the students with the important
role played in physics in their daily life.
• To develop in students a scientific culture
•To provide a training to students in methods of
science.
7. •To emphasize upon students the role of
physics on social behavior.
•To prepare students for those vocations
which require a sound knowledge of
physics.
•To increase understanding to such a level
that he can understand various concept and
theories.
8. Objectives are the specific
and precise behavioral outcomes of
teaching a particular topic or lesson
of physical science.
9. The common education objective are
1. Acquisition of knowledge.
2. Intellectual abilities.
skill + Knowledge = ability
intellectual ability refer to situations in
which the individual is expected to bring specific
technical information to bear on a new problem.
10. Objectives actually control
other factors of physics teaching to great
extent therefore more emphasis be laid on
writing the objectives in behavioral terms for
each unit of class room instructions in
physics.
