Slovenia Gimnazija Physics Curriculum (Overview)

The physics curriculum in Slovenian Gimnazija schools is overseen by the National Education Institute Slovenia. While a comprehensive, publicly available document outlining the specific second-year curriculum is difficult to locate, some information can be gleaned from various sources. Physics is a compulsory subject in the first three years of Gimnazija.

The curriculum generally aims to provide students with a strong foundation in fundamental physics concepts, preparing them for further studies at the university level.

Specific topics covered in the second year likely build upon the first-year foundations and may include (but are not limited to) mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, and optics. More specific details may be available from individual Gimnazija schools. For example, Gimnazija Bežigrad in Ljubljana offers insights into their curriculum structure: and Another example is Gimnazija Poljane, which lists physics as a subject with 2 lessons per week: Additional context regarding teacher training for physics at the Gimnazija level can be found here: A research paper discussing conceptual learning of physics in Slovenian secondary schools provides further context:
