"Hierarchy inquiry in the learning of Physics"

(I Gde Eka with Prof. Carl)
Science and technology developments that occur in various fields including information technology and communications, has provided a major impact on changing patterns of human behavior in a variety of activities. In the field of educational activity, advances in science and technology on one hand has a lot to help the teacher in conducting a quality learning process, on the other hand requires the readiness of teachers to constantly update their knowledge and understanding of science and technology and how to pass it on to students.
This year (2011) majoring in Physical education plans will be conducting the service of Purnawisuda V. As in previous Purnawisuda service activities, it will be held with variety of scientific activities, such as the international seminar on education and the teaching of Physics, various competitions related to teaching physics in schools and supporting devices, and related exhibitions media and the tools for learning physics. In an international seminar, planned to invite some experts in the field of physics education from abroad.
GOALS
1. Organizing an international seminar aims for the participants to gain insight on how the learning of Physics should be implemented as well as get additional insight into the knowledge of the outcomes of innovation and learning physics results of recent studies related to the implementation of learning physics in its various aspects.
2. Exhibition aims for the participants to gain additional insight into media-related knowledge, teaching aids, equipment demonstration / practicum, and other learning tools that are useful in helping the process of learning physics at school.
3. The implementation of learning physics contest aims to encourage the growth of ideas and creative ideas, innovative among secondary school physics teachers in planning and implementing learning physics in school who are active, creative, innovative, effective and fun.
4. Implementation of media innovation contest / learning tool aims to trigger the growth of ideas and creative ideas, innovative teachers of physics among high school in developing a variety of media and learning tool that can help the process physics implementation of quality physical learning.
5. The implementation of science-project contest aims to foster a sense of fun and love the elementary and middle school students as well as foster creativity in harnessing science concepts for various purposes.
