Effective Teaching of Physics and Scientific Method

Abstract

Teaching science in modern society shows a lack of efficiency, as well as the discrepancy between goals and the quantum and quality of students' knowledge. Teaching physics in elementary and grammar schools in Serbia is also inefficient. The problem is solved by introducing modern teaching methods, especially the scientific method. Then teaching is not oriented to content, whose adoption allows the student to cope in the same or similar situations, but the method of their application in an unfamiliar situation allows the student to solve the problem. School classes fulfil their mission of quality preparation of students for further education, application of knowledge in the world of work or in everyday problem situations.
