Teaching-Learning Contemporary Physics

Beata JAROSIEVITZ first obtained an MSc degree in physics and a univ. doctor degree in Nuclear Techniques, later earning her Ph.D. in Education Sciences and MSc degree in Computing. She has taught computing and informatics to high school students and physics to college undergraduates as a college professor. She has thrice received the “Teacher Researcher” award from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences for her educational research work. Besides her involvement in a number of international teaching-research projects, she has represented Hungary in GIREP since 2000. She was the chair of the GIREP2019 Conference held in Budapest 1-5 July 2019. Csaba SÜKÖSD earned a degree in nuclear physics in 1971, followed by a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics. Aside from his scientific research work in that field, he has also worked in physics education. As a university professor, he has been involved in training of physics teachers. He has organized and led the countrywide “Leo Szilárd Physics Competition” for more than 20 years and spearheaded the upgrade program of Hungarian physics teachers in CERN for ten years. He was co-chairing the GIREP2019 Conference.
