addition to this, a list of recent books suitable for this course will be
published from time to time.
In
selecting instructional and study materials, the teacher is expected to apply
his or her academic professional knowledge and skills in judging the suitability
of the book.
METHODS OF
TEACHING AND LEARNING
A physics teacher is advised to employ "activity teaching methods" and problem solving approach. In the former method, the students should be encouraged to participate actively in:
observing, hypothesising, inferring, classifying, predicting. experimentation, collecting and interpreting data and drawing conclusion. I on the other hand, problem solving approach include discovery, student projects and education visits excursions. However, the teacher will be free to use any other teaching method (e.g. exposure teaching method) considered effective according to certain circumstances in promoting learning.

The teacher are advised to administer formative tests at
the end of each topic in the syllabus in order to diagnose the learning problems
of their students. The results of these test should be used to provide group or
individual remedial instruction whenever necessary. Annual examinations will
serve as a means of indentifying the topics or sub-topic which need further
teaching improvement.
