Sažetak
Particle Physics is not that new and unknown topic in Physics, but with recent discoveries and developments in the field, it poses itself challenging for teachers in high schools. These challenges might vary regionally, but they persist regardless of high school type, students’ environment and financial possibilities. We will present the current situation in teaching Particle Physics in high schools in Sarajevo Canton, as well as the challenges and obstacles teachers face from year to year in presenting the matter to students. A survey conducted among high school Physics’ teachers has given us solid ground on where and how to direct our research, what specific points to tackle and how to help in making this particular topic more understandable and closer to teachers as well as to students. Similar experiences are present in Norway, the United States of America, Spain etc. We will try to present some features that might enrich teaching Particle Physics in high school, as well as approaches and methods that might help to ease the problems that teachers encounter with this topic. Problems we will present here vary from literature choice, lack of experiments to insufficient knowledge and understanding of matter itself. We offer solutions and ideas on how to overcome the problems on both practical and theoretical level. Theoretical in the sense of proposing changes in the field of administration and organisation of classes, and practical in the sense of presenting experiments, group works and other ideas that teachers actually can try in their classrooms.
