Should a teacher be generalist or specialist? In the presentation we discuss the differences in the physics teacher education for secondary school and upper secondary school in Sweden. An important topic is how to include training of No-dqpractical physics for childrenNo-dq. Another question is whether there should be a difference between physics for teachers and scientists.
