Scientific paper

We will describe the development of the PhysTEC program at Oregon State University. The goal of this program is to enhance the number of secondary physics teachers and to improve the physics training of primary teachers and secondary teachers in related fields. Key elements of the plan include: (1) a seamless five-year program leading to a M.S. in science education and a B.S. in physics with a specialty in physics education, which takes advantage of our unique undergraduate physics curriculum (the Paradigms project); (2) a teacher-in-residence with joint duties in the Department of Physics and the Department of Science and Math Education; (3) inquiry-based and pedagogically-oriented lab and recitation sections in calculus-based introductory physics; (4) an inquiry-based physical science course for preservice elementary teachers; (5) outreach projects that enhance the preservice experience and support the methods and pedagogy training offered elsewhere in the curriculum.
