The aims listed below are not in order of priority. The aims of a course based on this syllabus should be to:
1 provide, through well-designed studies of experimental and practical science, a worthwhile educational experience for all learners, whether or not they go on to study science beyond this level and, in particular, to enable them to acquire sufficient understanding and knowledge to:
• become confident citizens in a technological world and be able to take or develop an informed interest in scientific matters
• recognise the usefulness, and limitations, of scientific method and appreciate its applicability in other disciplines and in everyday life
• be suitably prepared for studies beyond Cambridge International A Level in physics, in engineering or in physics-dependent vocational courses.
2 develop abilities and skills that:
• are relevant to the study and practice of science
• are useful in everyday life
• encourage efficient and safe practice
• encourage effective communication.
3 develop attitudes relevant to science such as:
• a concern for accuracy and precision
• objectivity
• integrity
• a spirit of enquiry
• initiative
• inventiveness.
4 stimulate interest in, and care for, the environment in relation to the environmental impact of physics and its applications.
5 promote an awareness:
• that the study and practice of physics are co-operative and cumulative activities, and are subject to social, economic, technological, ethical and cultural influences and limitations
• that the applications of physics may be both beneficial and detrimental to the individual, the community and the environment
• of the importance of the use of IT for communication, as an aid to experiments and as a tool for the interpretation of experimental and theoretical results.
6 stimulate learners and create a sustained interest in physics so that the study of the subject is enjoyable and satisfying.
