The school-University physics interface project

Abstract

The basic aim of the project is to discover whether a tangible matching problem does exist for physics students in the transition from school to university. The objectives are to find the right questions to ask in order to determine its nature and extent, and then to explore, and so far as possible in the pilot stage, to evaluate ways and means of solving the problem or at least reducing it to manageable proportions. By implication this means that modern developments in educational technology and self teaching must be given serious consideration.
