Two specific operative Two specific operative objectivesobjectives
Production of a model-proposal for the preparation at university level of teachers in all areas involving a physics' culture (FORMazione).
Production of a model-proposal, for the construction of paths (PERCorsi) of development of the basic culture in physics at all levels of pre- university schooling.

relationship between pedagogy and disciplinary didactics
They can be set into three categories:
teaching methods used in university teaching
appropriate knowledge of the discipline (the grey zones)

The FORM GoalsThe FORM Goals
From a theoretical point of view, we aimed to gain a better understanding of factors which either promote or hinder the development of good teaching practice;
The purpose of the research was twofold:
To contribute to the research-based design of physics teacher education programs and materials.

Some ConclusionsSome Conclusions1. Exemplary teaching practices necessarily
include the interaction of SMK, PK and PCK.
2. A constructivist philosophy is required to fully “appreciate ” the interplay among SMK, PK, and PCK and their role in teaching/learning.
3. Increased emphasis on SMK it is useful but it does not necessarily affect instruction.
GIREP_2003
Some ConclusionsSome Conclusions
PCK construction does not involve only knowledge of pedagogical presentations, strategies and pupils’ preconceptions or learning difficulties;
PCK development is not always a matter of converting any kind of existing SMK directly into PCK;
A fundamental shift in the notion of what to know physics entails (at concept-level as well as at epistemic level), is required;
