The role of physics departments in developing student teachers' expertise in teaching physics

چکیده
In physics teacher education the challenge is to promote the development of expertise needed from physics teachers. In that close collaboration between physicist and physics education professionals is needed. This, however, poses many challenges, which are not easily met. We describe here some guidelines, based on our own experience from a pilot course for pre-service physics teacher education. We discuss how physics departments can meet these challenges by designing a special course and working models, which takes into attention the aspect of expertise expected from physics teachers. The positive results and feedback received is presented.
