Bachelor's Degree in Physics Oriented to Secondary Education
As a graduate of INTEC, you will be a diversified professional, with moral rectitude, social responsibility and scientific objectivity. You will have the necessary knowledge and the information and communication technologies that allow you to successfully insert yourself into the educational system and contribute to its development. You will have the capacity to continue learning the knowledge of physics and its forms of teaching in the second cycle of basic education and secondary education, being able to play leadership roles in positions of accompaniment to other teachers in the area.
Why Physics?
Physics is oriented to knowledge and understanding of the laws of nature that regulate the behavior and vicissitudes of energy, matter, time and space. In the Dominican Republic several studies have been carried out in which the low level of preparation of students in the Basic and Middle level of the education system in some academic areas such as physics is reflected. At the same time, other studies have been carried out, which prove the lack of preparation or knowledge that the teachers of this subject have, which brings as a consequence what was previously stated. We need trained teachers to complete the work that was started in the country with the approval of the 4% for education and the construction of numerous school sites.
Where can you start?
You will be able to work in public and private secondary schools, in different technical bodies of the Ministry of Education associated with the teaching-learning of Sciences and in particular of Physics as well as in commissions and organisms that need the knowledge of Physics for the taking of decisions.
