When we look at the statistical data published by the Ministry of National Education after the YKS exam every year, the course that high school students pass the least clearly is "Physical" It is seen as. The fact that students whose native language is Turkish have such difficulty in physics class may raise the question of whether high school students learning French Physics also have this much difficulty. Although physics is a universal language, students may have difficulty understanding physics subjects in Francophone schools because the physics curriculum runs parallel to the MEB curriculum.
Physics education in francophone schools is based on both verbal knowledge, mathematical analysis and the ability to understand and interpret the experimental data. While the verbal knowledge part measures the student's command of the French language; The mathematical analysis sections examine how the student integrates both mathematics and physics knowledge with each other; The ability to interpret experimental data also measures whether one knows the scientific study steps and how the given graphs should be interpreted.
What is the difference between French physics lessons and Turkish physics lessons?
Although the curricula of French physics and Turkish physics courses are parallel to each other, French physics courses also include subjects that are different from Turkish physics courses. While Turkish physics lessons are based on general formulas and memorization, French physics lessons are more about making the subject logical as they give detailed explanations, proofs and necessary visualizations at the beginning of each unit. Additionally, there are plenty of open-ended questions in French physics lessons. (mathematical analyses, cause-effect relationships, proofs…) Because it contains information, it destroys the perception that I am learning physics just to solve the tests.
French physics lessons also contribute to the development of the student's self-expression skills because, as mentioned above, the questions demand a questioning of the given concept rather than an answer. Moreover, at this point, the student's ability to use the French language while expressing himself is important.
What are the benefits of the Château Education French Physics School Supplementation Programme?
Château Educational Institutions creates a learning plan in line with the individual learning needs of students in the physics course, as in every course. These learning plans are supported by in-class games to keep the student dynamic and by enriched cross-documents to recognize new question types. These learning plans are implemented regardless of whether students request face-to-face lessons or take online courses. The purpose of these learning plans is for the student to better understand the main logic of the subject and achieve higher success in school exams.
In addition, Château Education Rules understands the needs of students outside the classroom and organizes Château Discharge sessions periodically. The aim here is to provide the necessary moral support with expert psychologists who are competent in their field, on issues that the student does not feel well or wants to consult, and to make the student aware that he or she is not alone.
What is the French Physics Curriculum?
