2. SG2 – A: Examples of good practice in PCK - Nothing was received from Chris Shepherd… but once contacted he said he had only received a document from Coimbra. Documents that can be discussed: - competences of future physics teachers… contributions from Romualda, Olivia, Maria José, … - Any other suggestions?

4. SG2 – C : Involvement of Physics departments in physics teacher education - Data collection by Nathalie Lebrun, from Univ. Coimbra, Univ. Zagreb and Univ. Lille - a first draft of a questionnaire was done -some comments have already been collected and some corrections were suggested -the questionnaire already contains some aspects of Benchmarks (sec. schools) (SG2 – B)… Notes: Questionnaire may need further revision and refinement

5. SG2 – D: Benchmarks for primary school Physics teacher education - A document was received from Tomaso Corridoni, Claudio Fazio and Marisa Michelini - proposing 30 to 51 ECTS in Phys, Maths and Physics Didactics for primary school teacher education - also mentioning the necessity of education of teaching Biology and Chemistry contents

6. - How can one introduce these ECTS in primary school teachers’ education? -How much more ECTS in Biology (life sciences), and Geology (earth sciences), and Chemistry, and… contents, for primary school teachers? -Are primary school teachers supposed to “specialize” in different scientific subjects?... … Comments on a publication by Valerie Otero…
