Physics Curriculum: K-12 Education in Turkey

AI Thread Summary
A discussion emerged regarding the restructuring of the physics curriculum for K-12 education in Turkey. The original poster sought insights into the order of physics topics taught in other countries. Respondents highlighted that in high schools, various educational systems like A-Levels, the French Baccalaureate, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) have similar core physics curricula but differ in available options. The IB offers a broader range of topics, including medical physics and quantum mechanics. Suggestions included researching specific curricula by searching for "Physics A-Level specification" or "physics IB syllabus," which the original poster later confirmed they found helpful.

Hi,
I am from turkey. we'll change education the physics in grade k-12 in our country. And we research how is the best order of topics.
So how is the order topics of physics in your country?
Can you give me a link I found it?
What is your suggestion in this matter?
Thank you very much for now.

Here, in high schools, one of A-Levels, the French Baccalaureate and the International Baccalaureate is studied for. The Physics curriculum for each of those boards are fairly similar, however, there are distinct differences in the "options" available. There is much more choice in IB, with topics ranging from medical physics to intro quantum mechanics and astrophysics. I would suggest you take a look at their curriculum. Just google "Physics a-level specification" or "physics IB syllabus". :)
 
Dear Thy Apathy,
Thank you very much for your answer. I found it.
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
