Popis: Physics teachers have a variety of concerns about how to teach physics in a technological world. In this paper, an analysis of these ideas is presented and discussed. In the framework of a meeting, participants were invited to formulate some questions to be debated by a panel of experts during the event. A content analysis was performed using both qualitative and quantitative simple approaches in order to detect teachers’ concerns with the aim to promote a subsequent reflection. Most of the questions referred to how to deal with teachers’ education and their professional knowledge development. The analysis of the question applying PCK model showed a strong interest of the physics teachers on topic-specific knowledge and the best strategies to teach it. This meeting was a formidable opportunity to detect different needs and requirements that will be a great contribution in order to rethink physics and science education in this technological world.
