-understanding of the interaction between theory and experiment where different working methods are used and discussed,
-understanding of the interaction between Natural Science, technique, community and environment,
-understanding of conservation, transformation, circulation and spreading of the matter as well as the effects of the man´s interference in these courses,
-problem-directed approach,
-loboratory working procedure and learning by discovery,
-in-depth knowledge about teaching process, from curriculum to evaluation, to analyse and critical evaluate the school,
-in-depth knowledge about groups and development of groups,
-the completed part of the Degree Project.
The students should have knowledge about:
-working out, carrying out and inerpretation of environmental surveys,
-national and international environment goals,
-plant physiology,
-theoretical background and practical consequences of air, ground and water pollutions,
-the nature of heat and its symptoms,
-how electrical current is generated and used in different situations,
-waves and qualities of waves applied in acoustics and optics,
-the historical perspective,
-how to start with problem-solving in applcation of mathematic as well as in concept formation.
The students should be able to:
-critical examine and interpret result reports,
-plan and lead environmental surveys,
-carry out experiments,interpret and describe the results as well as formulate
general laws,
-use the knowledge in chemistry in a responsible way with regards to the environment and their own resource utilization,
-independently solve problems of non-routine character,
-account for concept development in mathematics within the framwork of the
compulsory comprehensive school,
-exemplify and account for the difference between concept of knowledge and prcedure of knowledge,
-account for how you start from problem-situations in application of mathematic as well in concept formation,
-evaluate the capability of development in unconventional methods of solution when solving mathematical problems as well as routin tasks,
-account for different evaluation methods,
-carry through and report an individual development work at school, the Degree Project .
